Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by...

Since 1943, Spartan Tool has been manufacturing sewer and drain cleaning equipment for the professional user. Originally located in Chicago, Spartan moved to its current headquarters location of Mendota, Illinois in the 1950s. Though there were a few ownership changes in its early years, since 1978 Spartan has been part of the Heico Holding, Inc. family of companies, a multi-billion dollar privately held manufacturing concern based in the Chicago area. With facilities and clients all over the world, the depth of talent and financial resources of Heico has enabled Spartan to grow and prosper throughout its long history.

Spartan Tool prides itself on producing innovative products that solve the problems of the drain cleaning market, with a focus on safe operation, customer service and equipment that pays back tremendous dividends over years or even decades of operation. Assembled here in the U.S. in our manufacturing plant in Mishawaka, Indiana, Spartan's products are engineered for extraordinary durability, reliability and ease of use.

Ever since its origins, Spartan Tool has focused on selling directly to the end users of our equipment. We think this offers significant benefits to our customers. Today we have dozens of Territory Managers employed throughout the United States who routinely call on drain cleaners, plumbers, maintenance staffs, municipalities and other customers, showing up at the customer's door with a truck or van filled with equipment and parts, so that we can satisfy a customer's requirements right on the spot. This also allows us to engage the customer and determine exactly what the customer's needs are, be it equipment, training, repairs or just an outside perspective or grain of wisdom that our Territory Managers might have gleaned over the course of their travels. Most of our Territory Managers have a substantial background in the plumbing industry, and many are former drain cleaners or Master Plumbers themselves. The credibility and knowledge of having been in the trenches themselves allows our Territory Managers a unique perspective on the equipment, and more importantly how to make money using it.

This direct-to-the-customer, consultative selling approach has yielded the dividend of close, personal knowledge of the challenges and opportunities that face the drain cleaning market. Spartan Tool learns from this customer feedback and applies this education to the task of engineering equipment that is simply the best available. The result is cable machines that can withstand the torture of clearing multiple drains daily, SparShine® replacement cables wound with a proprietary wire that resists rust and exposure to acid, jetters packed with features that allow you to clean lines both quicker and more thoroughly, a truly innovative Sparvision 200 camera system that operates with an iPad as its monitor, delivering all the simplicity of operation, quick file sharing and startlingly clear pictures and videos that the iPad is known for, and the UnderTaker system, an incredible drain line pipe bursting machine that will delight your customers when they discover an alternative to trenching through their property to replace their sewer lateral.
