Mark VII Equipment Revenue and Competitors

At Mark VII, we strive to lead the car wash industry in the creation, development and manufacturing of the most efficient, most effective and most profitable car wash solutions. Mark VII sells a complete line of car wash solutions, including touch-free rollover, tunnel and self-service systems, as well as chemicals, ancillary products and service agreements. All our systems are backed by comprehensive warranties, Mark VII factory support and an international distribution network. Mark VII has been credited with revolutionizing the way the petroleum industry approaches the car wash business. What was once "free with a fill-up" became a premium service that motorists were happy to pay extra for. Between the years 1988 and 1998, Mark VII's market share grew from less than 1% to an estimated 35% of the global touch-free car wash market. Our company was founded in 1966 by Harry Matthews, who at the time was dissatisfied with existing products and began producing his own car wash equipment under the name Mark VII. Harry sold Mark VII in 1996 to Goldner Hawn Johnson & Morrison.
