ALCESTER, S.D. - The Cleaning Equipment Trade Association (CETA) recently honored Jim Scott of Alkota Cleaning Systems, Inc. with the pressure washing industry's most prestigious honor. Scott was given the Lifetime Achievement Award during PowerClean 2007, the association's convention and tradeshow recently held in Orlando, Fla.

Scott has served as a regional sales manager and now works as the company's marketing manager.
"Everyone in the Alkota family congratulates Jim for this significant recognition," said Gary Scott, president of Alkota Cleaning Systems.
