NuVinAir Global, which produces vehicle interior cleaning products, announced in a statement the company’s expansion to Alaska, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming — expanding its franchise footprint to 29 states. NuVinAir West is the company’s newest franchisee group.

“Since launching the NuVinAir Southwest franchise group last year for Arizona and Nevada, I’ve experienced firsthand the tremendous demand for these proprietary products, especially among the biggest brands in the rental-car industry,” said Doug Eaton, NuVinAir co-founder, in the statement. “Their appetite for the products was a massive signal from the market that NuVinAir is a leader in the healthy vehicle space, and my partner Mike and I are proud to be part of their franchisee family.”

“Joining forces with Doug to launch NuVinAir West, NuVinAir’s newest franchisee group, is a natural partnership for us since we’ve worked together for 20 years in the mobility space,” added co-founder Mike Jensen. “Plus, on a personal level, I’m a huge fan of the products.”

NuVinAir West owns the exclusive rights to the eight aforementioned states, as well as the greater El Paso region in Texas, and will implement NuVinAir’s line of products. The team will support a wide range of businesses in the transportation space, including rental-car companies, automotive dealerships, car washes, detail shops, RVs, trucking fleets, mobility companies, and other automotive businesses.

“Over the past few years, and especially throughout the pandemic, we have built an exclusive powerhouse of heavy-hitters that continues to disrupt the automotive industry,” said Kyle Bailey, CEO, and founder of NuVinAir. “From seasoned executives to first-time business owners and serial entrepreneurs, our franchise network offers an unparalleled growth opportunity to those wanting to work with an industry leader that’s at the forefront of innovation.”
