Our name is representative of who we are as a cleaning contractor
When David R. Povlitz started this company back in 1989, he had complete clarity of mind regarding his mission. Though the end goal was to ensure commercial buildings stayed consistently clean and disinfected, Povlitz’s driving mission was to help others achieve financial freedom and security by becoming cleaning contractor business owners themselves.
According to Povlitz, it’s one thing to work a steady job, but it’s something else entirely to be your own boss and work for yourself. So, he built this company in a three-tiered franchise structure, enabling executive-level experts to build their own empires and supporting everyday men and women in becoming small business owners within the commercial cleaning industry.
Hear from Anago founder David Povlitz himself on how he came to find the Anago name, and everything it represents!
Putting Words Into Practice
With the Anago name secured, Povlitz got to work writing out the company values that he and his employees would guide the company for over the next three decades working hard to honor. In the end, he identified 7 unifying principles that clearly tie back to the Anago mission, standing above all else within the company culture:
Believe in People
Have Personal and Professional Integrity
Give People the Opportunity for Advancement
Provide a Sense of Achievement and Enjoyment
Manage With Goals*
Promote Training and Education*
Reserve the Right to Make Mistakes*
Even now, Anago employees and Franchise Owners—more commonly referred to as the Anago family—live up to these principles, helping each other grow and prosper. And as we continually guide and uplift one another, the Anago brand continues to grow and succeed as well.
