Bill Wilson founded Pioneer Eclipse with the introduction of propane burnisher technology and compatible floor finishes to the Jan-San industry in 1978. With products designed to reduce labor cost in the floor care industry, the company enjoyed immediate success, landing on Inc. Magazines list of 100 fastest growing privately held companies from 1984-1987.

In 1990 Pioneer Eclipse became a subsidiary of Amano and currently enjoys its position as part of that large Japanese conglomerate. Amano has a strong history of growth and is the global market leader in parking systems and time management. Amano is also the #1 manufacturer of Jan-San equipment in the important Japanese market. Amano has Manufacturing & Operations facilities in 17 countries around the world: United States, Canada, Belgium, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Netherlands, Romania, Spain, Korea, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia & Japan.

Amano Pioneer Eclipse is located in Sparta, NC where its 100,000 square foot facility manufactures floor care and sanitation chemicals and equipment for the Jan-San industry. With a sales presence in over 40 countries and a manufacturing capacity of 30 million gallons per year of chemicals, we are expertly positioned to meet any customer need.

Pioneer Eclipse continues that drive for excellence & innovation today as we serve the floor care and janitorial industry world-wide. We are the world leaders in propane powered floor care machines, and we intend to continue our founder's legacy of “shineology” far into the future.
