Our Story
Cyclone Technology was founded in the ’90s in Tempe, Arizona when Richard Rohrbacher invented the Cyclone head. This revolutionary cleaning marvel utilized wind force for water recovery, eliminating the need for noisy and costly vacuum components. Soon, airports, colleges, event centers and amusement parks were clamoring to purchase the hard surface cleaning machines for themselves.
In 2003, Cyclone Technology was created to manufacture and sell these hard surface cleaning machines. Then, in 2009, the first ultra-high-pressure rubber and paint remover was delivered and sold.
Today, Cyclone stands as the global leader in high-performance hard surface cleaning and paint and rubber removal equipment and services. Over the years, we’ve evolved and innovated, becoming a trusted solution for motorsports, airfields, cities, the military, campuses, and various industrial applications.
