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."

  • South Area Business Association-Business of the Year-(2002)
  • Wausau Chamber Business of the Year-(2007)
  • Wausau Chamber Business of the Year -Non-Profit (2020)
  • Wisconsin Family Business of the Year-(2008)

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."

Anniversary Highlights

  • 50 Years of Service: Celebrating five decades of family-owned, community-rooted business.
  • Generational Leadership: Second-generation ownership continues the founders' mission of quality and care.
  • Community Commitment: Thousands of volunteer hours and over $2 million raised for charitable causes.
  • A Growing Legacy: What started with two people and a dream has grown into a team of over 20 employees and multiple service divisions.

K-tech will commemorate its golden anniversary throughout the year with special community­ focused initiatives, appreciation events, and customer spotlights that honor the people who have shaped its story.

For five decades, K-tech has stood for more than just exceptional service-it has stood for family, resilience, and a deep love for the community it serves.
