Ryko Manufacturing Company was founded by—Jim Nelson, Larry Klein and Steve Golden in 1973. Ryko focused on the petroleum sector of the market with rollover-type car wash popular for the “free with a fill” strategy because it was lower-priced, more economical to operate and required less space than any other car wash system available. Ryko was one of the first ones to develop a fully “automatic” car wash machine with no attendant needed. Over the years the Ryko brand has grown and is now produced in a 150,000 sq ft facility in Grimes, IA.
