TYMCO doesn't have to sweep anything under the rug. The company makes regenerative air sweepers used to clean roadways, runways, and related surfaces. TYMCO's patented regenerative air system is designed to prevent pollutants leaving the vehicle's hopper once they have been swept from the pavement. Some sweeper models can run on alternative fuels such as compressed natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas. TYMCO sells worldwide through dealers. Construction executive B. W. Young founded the company in the late 1960s; it is owned and run by members of his family, including sons Kenneth (president) and Gary (VP). TYMCO is an acronym for The Young Manufacturing Company.
