Concare Inc.

About

In the early 1970’s, Concare, Inc.© co-founder Ron Puszynski sold specialty cleaning and maintenance products for Brulin & Company, an Indianapolis-based firm that serviced major national chains. Brulin’s focus was on training their customer’s employees to use chemical products safely and effectively.

Solvents and acids were commonly used for concrete prep in the ‘70s, and naturally their hazardous nature meant that Brulin’s concrete coating and repair products required both knowledgeable supervision and safe handling. Ron was frequently on site from a project’s start to its finish, making sure that the end result conformed to Brulin’s requirements and their customers’ expectations. Then an oil embargo and recession hit. Brulin saw their clients trimming staff and substituting outside contract services for full-time employees. Excess maintenance personnel were targeted and eliminated. A renewed focus on “core competencies” became the industry mantra, but the need for concrete remediation remained.

Customers turned to their valued suppliers for help. Ron evaluated and tested outside contractors on his customer’s behalf but found that their attention to detail and commitment weren’t up to the standards of distinguished national companies. Knowing he could do better, Ron and his wife Chris founded Concare, Inc. ® as 50/50 partners in 1978, and its slogan, “We Treat Floors Right ®” was born.
