MOORESVILLE, N.C. (July 1, 2019) – Tornado and Powr-Flite, part of the Tacony Corporation family of brands and headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, will team up with Front Row Motorsports (FRM) and two of its drivers through 2020, officials announced today.

Known for its innovative history and world-class equipment, Tornado has been a recognized leader in commercial cleaning since 1927. In an industry that is always looking for greater productivity and better value, Tornado’s vacuums, scrubbers, and other floor care products have stood the test of time.
Powr-Flite has been a leader in the commercial floor care industry for over 50 years. Founded in 1967 as a vacuum cleaner parts distributor, the organization’s rapid growth and aggressive nature became its trademark. Powr-Flite manufactures and distributes a core line of durable, value-priced floor care equipment to end-customers and through a national dealer network.
