About Us
Lenaco Corporation is a diversified group of service, distribution and trading businesses that operate in the business solutions, supply chain management and distribution segments. With a unique and focused approach, each individual company is managed by an exceptional management team joined by a shared set of values and common culture.
Lenaco Corporation manages its investments mainly on the provision of support rather than on being involved in the day-to-day management of business units. Lenaco Corporation considers it in the best interest of all the parties concerned to respect the unique business models we have created and the fact that these businesses are conducted as separate entities. Each company has the objective of building a strong business that consistently outperforms its peers and generates sustainably high returns on invested capital over the long-term. Privately owned, the corporation employs over 40 people, has a strong balance sheet and substantial liquidity.
History
Lenaco Corporation was founded by the Dilena family in 1958 to supply the growing coin operated laundry industry with detergents and specialty cleaners. Originally named Blue Ribbon Soap Company, Inc., Lenaco's business grew rapidly as the coin laundry industry boomed during the 1960's. As the company grew, Lenaco quickly diversified into providing an extensive range of supplies to car washes, hotels, motels, municipalities as well as industrial and commercial businesses of all types. Originally, Lenaco focused on the Northern and Central California marketplace. Once a strong foundation was established, the company rapidly expanded further into the Americas and Asia/Pacific. Lenaco Corporation, through its investments, provides thousands of products to customers throughout the world. The corporation is privately owned.
