KleenPark, the renowned pioneer in automobile detailing, is celebrating its 35th anniversary and its unique approach to business has captured the hearts of employees and customers alike.

Founded in 1988, with a vision to introduce the art of automotive detailing to Sri Lanka, KleenPark quickly emerged as an industry pioneer. However, what truly sets it apart is its employee-owned model, a testament to its visionary founder.

Imagine a workplace where each employee is not just a worker but a vested owner. At KleenPark, this dream turned into reality. Five years ago, on the company’s 30th anniversary, Ranjan Ratnasena, the owner, gifted the entire business to his loyal employees, whom he considered as the rightful heirs of the company. Overnight, 20 individuals became shareholders and with that, they embarked on a journey of shared prosperity.
Managing Director Ashoka Ekanayake, who himself is an employee of KleenPark, said, “This unique ownership structure has transformed the work culture at KleenPark. Every employee takes pride in being part of the company’s success story, where their dedication and passion directly impact the business’ growth. As owners, we are driven to provide unparalleled service and customer satisfaction, treating each vehicle as if it were our own.”
Ekanayake continued, “We firmly believe that business is not just about making money and profit. Business means doing something unique and special, making this world a better living place for everyone and bringing happiness to its employees and customers. That is the business philosophy of KleenPark.”

The sense of ownership at KleenPark goes beyond just financial rewards. It manifests in every detail, every interaction and every smile shared with customers. The employees feel genuinely responsible for maintaining the company’s reputation for excellence.

From humble beginnings with just a few customers, KleenPark now boasts a loyal clientele of over 5000. The demand for its meticulous detailing services often requires customers to book well in advance.
As KleenPark celebrates 35 years of excellence, it is a testament to the power of employee ownership. This one-of-a-kind approach has not only transformed the lives of those working at KleenPark but also set a shining example of how businesses can thrive when built on trust, integrity and a shared sense of purpose.
