Ryko Guided Tour
The Early Days
In 1973, Larry Klein and Jim Nelson
began a quest to build superior car
wash products in their small, two stall
garage in Bondurant, IA.
Dean Avenue
Two years later, due to strong demand,
RYKO moved to a larger facility on
Dean Ave. in Des Moines.
Grimes Facility
In 1984 RYKO moved to its present day
World Headquarters, located just
outside of Des Moines in Grimes, IA.
The 300,000 square foot building
located on 28 acres is home for Sales,
Marketing, Accounting, Engineering,
