Kleening and Restoration proudly celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025, marking five decades of family ownership, dedicated service, and unwavering commitment to Central and Northem Wisconsin communities and beyond.

Founded in 1975 by Clarance and Sue Kersemeier, K-tech began as a small, family-run Janitorial and carpet cleaning business and has since grown into one of Central Wisconsin's most trusted names in cleaning, restoration, and specialty services. Today, the company remains family­ operated, with second-generation leadership continuing the Kersemeier legacy of excellence, integrity, and community involvement.

"Reaching this milestone is a true honor," said Craig Kersemeier, President at K-tech Kleening and Restoration. "K-tech's success is rooted in our family values and the incredible support of the local community. We are beyond grateful to everyone who has been part of our journey­ employees, customers, partners, and neighbors."

A Legacy of Giving Back

Beyond business, K-tech has built a powerful legacy of giving through K-tech Charities, a non­ profit organization established to help those in need throughout Central Wisconsin. From disaster relief to cancer patient assistance, the organization has raised over $2 million through events such as the Pink Ribbon Open, now in its 22nd year!

"Our community has always supported us, and it's our mission to give back in every way we can," Kersemeier added. "It's not just about what we do-it's about who we do it for."
