About Factory Cat Factory Cat is the brand name of products built by R.P.S. Corporation, which manufactures cleaning equipment for the industrial sector, is incorporated in Wisconsin, and was established in 1986. Its principals have been in the cleaning machine business since 1980. R.P.S. designs and manufactures its own machinery. Simplicity is a hallmark of our designs. We take extra pains to design-out non-essential parts. This simplicity permits us to use better materials throughout, while, often, offering better prices than competition can achieve. Our products fit a niche we pretty much invented: high-performance, compact units for industry. We make fewer models than most of the firms we compete with, so we can put more effort into each of them. Our products continue to be exceptionally well received, and are the reason we can claim to be the fastest growing firm in this business. On the manufacturing front, we cut and bend fabricated parts using numerically controlled machinery. Our fit and finish standards set the pace for the industry. We enjoy economies of scale, relative to our industry, by making fewer models, and selling more examples of each of them than is the norm. We believe our productivity per employee to be the industry’s highest, and superior by a considerable margin. At present, Factory Cat manufactures some 40 models, including walk-behind and rider sweepers, three ranges each of walk-behind and rider scrubbers, and combination units that both sweep and scrub simultaneously. Historically, each of our models has come to enjoy a position of No. 1 or No. 2 in most of the markets we serve within two years of introduction to the marketplace. Factory Cat machines are all manufactured in Wisconsin, USA. They are sold through some 140 North American dealer locations. We are also sold across much of Europe, in Australia, and in parts of Asia and Latin America.
