Steamatic

In 1948, two Fort Worth businessmen decided to start a carpet cleaning business. From the beginning, it was obvious that their company would be different…innovative. They built a reputation of high standards and reliability that soon made them the leaders in the cleaning and restoration field.

As their market expanded, an idea formed to sell their unique approach to cleaning through franchise opportunities, enabling people around the world to take advantage of their experience and knowledge. In 1967, Steamatic, Inc. began to market franchises featuring this unique, new cleaning method. Combining their years of experience with this new cleaning technology, Steamatic was able to provide a valuable opportunity to franchisees.

In 1967 Steamatic applied for, and was granted its first Patent. It involved the Steamatic hot water extraction method of cleaning carpets. Since then, Steamatic has been granted 21 additional patents in the United States, Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Japan, Liechtenstein, New Zealand, Spain and Switzerland. Our continual commitment to research and development, innovation, and the system has been a foundation for growth in our franchise operations.

Steamatic continues to grow, and is now being directed by Bill Sims. We currently support over 400 franchise territories in the US and have franchises operating in 27 countries around the world. In Europe and some other countries Steamatic franchises operate under the name BMS Technologies.
