MPW Takes Green Mainstream in Collaboration with MOP

In 1972, a young entrepreneur named Monte Black, formed a company to provide truck-washing services in central Ohio. He was the only employee of the infant company—he worked seven days a week, first selling and then performing on-site washing services for tractors, trailers, surface mining equipment and structures. While he had entered what was even then a highly competitive industry, he was convinced that hard work, innovation and a commitment to exceed customer expectations would enable him to succeed. He believed that if he “went the second mile” to meet customer needs, his infant company would grow. And it did —adding Waterblasting, Ultra-High Pressure Waterblasting and Cutting, Industrial Vacuuming, Chemical Cleaning, proprietary Container Cleaning and Water Purification Services.

Today that company, now called MPW Industrial Services, is a leading provider of technology-based services to industrial, manufacturing and process facilities in the United States and Canada. With headquarters in Hebron, Ohio, MPW has over 35 years experience rapidly responding to customer needs from their network of more than 40 offices.

MPW's expertise is in waste reduction systems and recently their work with MOP - Maximum Oil Pickup - sorbent, in manufacturing facilities employing chip drag machines has been generating a lot of buzz. Why? Because, together, MOP and MPW identified a way to utilize MOP's sorbent to filter used coolant contaminated with cutting oil and metal filings. MOP immediately developed an appropriately sized boom filled with its renowned sorbent. Now, coolant that would have been headed for a hazardous waste treatment facility, at a hefty per barrell price, is now being recycled and used again on the factory floor. The result will be hundreds of thousands of dollars saved at each plant and the ability to recover both oil and coolant multiple times.

We expect that the folks from MPW will be passing MOP's newly developed product along to a lot of client companies in the coming months and their reputation for helping companes "save green by going green" will be significantly enhanced.
