Keeping it Kleen

By Richard Ryman

The slogan at Ohio’s Porta Kleen isn’t “why not,” but it could be. The Lancaster-based portable restroom operator is not big on limits, be they geographic or theoretical. “I ask our sales and marketing people every year, ‘what’s next?’ Four years ago, no one at Porta Kleen thought of doing shower trailers. Now it’s 35 percent of our business,” says general manager Larry Ailes. Porta Kleen supplies restroom trailers, showers and bunkhouses to clients around the country.
