FMC was founded in 1986 by Truxton Terkla and Patrick Krier.  Each came from totally unrelated industries, where there was a strong emphasis on Customer Service.  Truxton worked in the hospitality industry for Westin Hotels and Patrick was employed by Lanier in the computer sales division. 

 

Starting as a small janitorial service with only two employees, FMC soon grew to 75 employees and  $1.5 million in sales between 1987 and 1994.

 

FMC was proud to be honored in 1993 as one of Inc. Magazine's top  500 "Fastest Growing Privately Held Companies".

 

Award

Inc 500 Award

 

In 1994 and again in 1998,  the Kent Chamber of Commerce awarded FMC the title of:

 

"Small Business of the Year

The criteria for winning this award, included company growth and staying power, service to the customers and innovation in the face of challenges.  Considering FMC was a small non-franchised business, that spoke volumes!

As FMC continued to grow, a number of their satisfied customers asked them whether or not they would be willing to maintain the exterior of the buildings, in addition to the interior.  Striving to meet the needs of the customer, FMC sought high-quality personnel and their commercial Landscaping Division was born. 

Since their inception, with both divisions enjoying steady growth, additional departments offering a wide range  of services have been developed including Parking Lot Services and Pressure Washing. 

Facility Maintenance Contractors happily celebrated a record year in 2001, with $3.7 million in sales and a customer retention rate to be envied.  Had Customer Service not been the number one priority, none of this would have ever been possible!
