Leonard Vella Business Consultant
Summary of Expertise
In 1958, Leonard Vella began his journey in the street sweeping industry initially as a means to put himself through college. Little did he know, he was on the path to create a timeless era and name for himself within the business. Starting from a very basic sweeper to becoming one of the largest street sweeping companies in the United States, Leonard Vella helped shape the dynamics of the street sweeping industry we see today.
Leonard Vella was co-founder in the creation of “Mr. Air Sweeper”, which is now owned and operated independently as MASCO Sweepers, Inc. He was also a part of the founding of the National Contract Sweeper Institute, which essentially revolutionized the industry for job costing purposes.
He was involved in the manufacturing of large-scale city broom sweepers and for 50 years he was an entrepreneur responsible for sweeping multiple City contracts and hundreds of shopping plazas. He retired about 20 years ago and sold his business to his kids.
At now 86 years old, Leonard Vella is the Business Consultant and former Investor for Precision Sweeping Services. He has been involved in the business from the first day and has been passing on his years of experience in the sweeping industry to us. Leonard is no nonsense when it comes to quality and accuracy; hence why we chose the name “Precision”. Leonard Vella is an integral part of Precision Sweeping Services, and we value his knowledge and input. To this day, he continues to define his legacy and will forever remain the Grandfather of the street sweeping industry.
Quotes of Noted Sources “Every industry has only a few bona fide pioneers. For the U.S. contract sweeping industry, one of those is Leonard Vella. Leonard sold businesses on the service of cleaning their parking lots by day, swept by night on a ride-on Wayne machine not designed for sweeping a parking lot, and found time to study and sleep somewhere in between. Once Leonard realized he could make a go of pavement maintenance, he realized he needed a machine that would both do the job better and get him out of the elements. Since there was nothing of that sort available, the inventive Vella set out to develop one. The end result was what ultimately became today's MASCO line of sweepers.”

“The first microchip, which garnered the early stages of the personal computer, was in the initial stages of development in 1958. In that same year, Leonard J. Vella saw the need for local businesses to keep their properties free of dirt and debris.
Leonard understood the value of a well-maintained property, so he set out to build a company that would provide property cleaning services for local businesses in San Jose, California. Leonard committed his energies to the principles of loyalty, reliability, and a solid work ethic which entrusted him with a devoted customer foundation.”
