Bob Lawrie, co-founder of Pro Fleet Care entered the rust control industry in 1983 when the general consensus was that tar or wax products were the best way to protect vehicles against rust. Bob Lawrie was not convinced, instead, he used a light chemical that could migrate into seams and crevices. Over the next 10 years, the marketplace also began to shift towards this chemical. As business grew so did the demand for servicing fleet customers. To better accommodate this growing segment, Bob developed the first ever mobile unit that went to the clients location. Customers saved time and money as they no longer had to have one of their employees drive equipment from their workplace to Bob’s shop. This also minimized their equipment downtime. The mobile system was very successful and Bob decided to wholly focus his attention on developing this market.
