Highline Warren Acquires Sprayway, a Leader in Glass & Surface Care
Highline Warren has acquired the Sprayway brand from PLZ Corp, adding a well-established, professional-grade cleaning franchise to its growing portfolio of automotive and household care solutions.
Founded in 1947, Sprayway is best known for its original foaming glass cleaner, a flagship product recognized for ammonia-free, streak-free performance. The brand currently holds the No. 2 position in the U.S. glass cleaner category by unit share and leads the category in sales velocity. Beyond glass care, Sprayway’s portfolio has expanded to include liquid formats, wipes, household surface care, automotive appearance products, and industrial solutions.
“Sprayway is a well-regarded, growing brand with loyal consumers and strong retail partnerships,” said Darcy Curran, CEO of Highline Warren. “We are pleased to welcome Sprayway into our expanding portfolio of maintenance consumables. Through our nationwide distribution network and industry-leading 98.5% fill rate, we intend to expand accessibility, support continued growth, and introduce new product lines that build on Sprayway’s professional-grade reputation.”
From the seller’s perspective, PLZ Corp. emphasized the brand’s recent momentum and future potential under new ownership. “Sprayway has achieved meaningful growth across retail channels over the past several years and is positioned to become a powerhouse in the cleaning segment,” said Fenton Challgren, CEO of PLZ Corp. “Highline Warren provides a strong platform to accelerate innovation in adjacent markets such as automotive and industrial applications, while preserving the quality and performance customers expect from the Sprayway name.”
Highline Warren’s brand management experience and national footprint position the company to further broaden Sprayway’s presence across retail, e-commerce, and B2B channels. The acquisition supports Highline Warren’s strategy of extending trusted brands into adjacent categories while leveraging scale, supply-chain efficiency, and customer relationships to drive distribution gains.
