Progressive Sweeping Contractors, Inc. is celebrating 40 years of business. Mike Lucht founded ProSweep in 1978. In the past 40 years, ProSweep has grown from a small street sweeping business in Toledo, Ohio to a company with two offices that services all of Northwest Ohio, Southeast Michigan, and Eastern Indiana. ProSweep currently employs over 50 people with 30 operational commercial sweepers.
“When I started ProSweep 40 years ago, I had a vision that we would exceed our customer’s expectations by employing professional drivers, maintaining attention to detail, and delivering prompt service 24/7,” states Mike Lucht, President of ProSweep. “We extensively train our drivers and mechanics on machine specifics, maintenance, and sweeping techniques. It’s humbling to lead a group of employees who are so faithfully dedicated to their work. Further, I am grateful for our loyal customers who have trusted us for their power sweeping needs for the last 40 years.”
