Kärcher and Tokheim Service Group (TSG) have formed a strategic partnership, which will see them join forces in the car wash industry.

"Kärcher will increase its focus on development, engineering and manufacturing in order to bring to market superior products and great innovation," explained Markus Asch, deputy chairman of the management board and managing director of Alfred Kärcher GmbH & Co. KG. TSG will manage sales and distribution to the fuel retail segment on behalf of Kärcher, and will provide installation, warranty and maintenance services to all car wash customers in Europe and Africa.

"From now on, we can offer an even better service to operators of Kärcher car wash equipment and thereby create an important basis for further profitable growth for them as well as for us," said Hartmut Jenner, chief executive officer and chairman of the management board of Alfred Kärcher GmbH & Co. KG.
