National Carwash Solutions acquires Zep Vehicle Care

ZVC’s commercial car wash chemical offerings will become a part of NCS.

National Carwash Solutions has completed the acquisition of Zep Vehicle Care (ZVC) from Zep, Inc.

ZVC’s commercial car wash chemical offerings, marketed under well-known brands, including Armor All Professional, Blue Coral, and Rain-X, complement NCS’ existing products to provide customers with the broadest selection of car wash chemicals. These products are additive to NCS’ comprehensive equipment and service offering. ZVC also brings its PurClean water management and reclamation equipment brand to the combined entity.

“Today represents a milestone moment for our company as we officially welcome the Zep Vehicle Care team to NCS,” said Michael Gillen, CEO of NCS.

“The Zep Vehicle Care team is excited to join National Carwash Solutions,” said Greg Heyer, Chief Commercial Officer of ZVC. “Our organizations are natural complementary fits and we’re looking forward to delivering the exceptional end-to-end solutions our customers have come to expect.”

Effective immediately, the legal name of ZVC will be NCS Vehicle Care, Inc. Gillen will continue to serve as CEO of NCS, Mr. Heyer will lead the ZVC business, and executives from both NCS and ZVC will assume leadership positions across the organization. Berkshire Partners, an existing investor in NCS, is the majority owner of the newly combined company.
