Clarke tools home

Created by inventor and tinkerer Alex A. Clarke in , the Clarke Company began with a better, faster sanding machine for restoring wood bar tops and school desks. Clarke's innovative sanding machine was so popular it quickly grew into a complete line of machines for floor sanding, vacuuming, and cleaning.

The s saw a steady stream of inventions, as Clarke developed new ways to clean and maintain floors - including the industry's first battery-powered scrubber, a durable rental sander and the tough, all purpose Clarke Floor Maintainer.

Clarke was so successful during this period, in fact, that it caught the attention of the fast-rising Studebaker Company, which bought the company and continued it's growth through the '60s with more innovations and additions to the product line. By , Clarke was headquartered in it's current home of Springdale, Arkansas with a broad portfolio of trusted, reliable cleaning equipment and other machines. Inc - was one of the largest manufacturers of cleaning equipment in the world.

In , Nilfisk-Advance, one of the most respected manufacturers of cleaning equipment in Europe, combined operations to create a worldwide brand with the resources and innovative spirit to continue the Clarke - and Nilfisk - legacy of industry leadership. Throughout its history, Clarke has been a leader in new product innovation and development. This entrepreneurial spirit is alive today with our focus on creating durable, long-lasting products that make cleaning easier, faster, and more sustainable.
