We Are Terrafend.

We are here to change the way the world cleans. With science, ingenuity, and determination, Terrafend is rewriting the rules of industrial cleaning to create lasting impact for industry and the environment.

A Passion For Change

It's Who We Are

We are Terrafend — scientists, engineers, and problem-solvers united by a simple belief: industrial cleaning must no longer come at the cost of people or the planet. For too long, harmful solvents, caustics, and outdated processes have defined the industry. We set out to change that. Over the past decade, we’ve pioneered patented, water-based technology that delivers safer, smarter, and more sustainable cleaning — without compromise.

Today, we stand alongside some of the world’s largest manufacturers — in automotive, aerospace, coatings, marine, and heavy industry — helping them transform how they clean, protect their people, and reduce their environmental impact. But we’re more than a technology company. We are a sustainability partner, driving meaningful change by cutting waste, lowering emissions, and enabling industries to shift toward circular, responsible operations that meet today’s demands without sacrificing tomorrow.

One of the things I really enjoy about working with the Terrafend team is the communication and excellent customer service. We speak on a weekly basis and use data to drive our decisions on how to continue optimizing our processes and service levels.

Unlocking real potential

A Message From Our Founder

Terrafend was built by out-of-the-box thinkers with one goal: to change how industry cleans, for good.​

For too long, businesses have relied on solvents, caustics, and outdated, wasteful systems simply because that’s the way it’s always been done. We knew there was a better way -and we were determined to prove it.

​Today, our patented water-based technology is helping leading manufacturers across the world move away from harmful processes, without sacrificing performance, safety, or cost-efficiency. We’re not just replacing chemicals -we’re replacing mindsets.​

Real change takes more than good intentions. It takes innovation, persistence, and the courage to rethink the norm. That’s what drives us.​ And we’re just getting started.​
