How Landa Became the Premier Name in Industrial Pressure Washers
The story of how Landa became the premier name in industrial pressure washers Landa was founded in 1969 by Larry Linton, a young banker in Portland, Oregon fresh out of business school, who invested a $600 tax refund and launched a pressure washer business. When suppliers couldn’t keep up with his demand for pressure washers, he started manufacturing them himself.
The brand name was coined when the company’s name evolved from “Linton and Associates” to “L-and-A” and ultimately to “LANDA.”
Within 30 years LANDA became North America’s largest manufacturer of industrial pressure washers with more than 300 hot and cold water models as well as a broad line of automatic aqueous parts washers and wash-water treatment and recycling systems.
In 1998, LANDA was purchased by the Harbour Group, a Midwest investment firm, and LANDA became a flagship brand for the new company, C-Tech Industries. Five years later C-Tech was sold to Kärcher, the world’s largest manufacturer of professional cleaning equipment with headquarters in Germany.
Today, Landa proudly boasts one of the most recognizable and trusted names in the commercial and industrial cleaning industry.
