Proposed Graffiti Removal Ordinance for Indianapolis

As an owner of a business located in downtown Indianapolis, I am among those who are affected by the graffiti "artists" as written in this morning's Indianapolis Star. Fortunately, our building has not been vandalized, but everyday I drive in very nearby neighborhoods where I see graffiti on homes and businesses.

Truly, the best way to fight back against graffiti is to remove it or cover it up. Like Officer Henry Castor says in today's article, "'Whatever it takes. The faster you can get on it, the faster it's painted, the less likely they'll get back.'"

The A.G. Maas Company, conveniently located off of I-70 on McCarty Street, across from Shapiro's Deli, carries just what businesses and homeowners need to combat this problem whether there is an ordinance passed or not.

Ink Out, Un-Goo, and Graffiti Off are all biodegradable products that are stocked in our warehouse. Click on the product names to view more information about them on their manufacturer, Core Products, website.

We also carry a Gel Vandal Mark Remover in a 16 oz. aerosol can and a variety of hand-held and floor scrapers and rags and wipers to help you tackle the toughest paint and adhesive.

Influenza, H1N1, Swine Flu: Whatever you call it, you need to know this


The flu is here in Indianapolis! In fact, I received a call from a friend the other day who said his son has been diagnosed with H1N1. It is time for us all to get serious about preventing the spread of this virus and learn some good cleaning practices while we are at it.

According to the CDC, "Studies have shown that influenza virus can survive on environmental surfaces and can infect a person for 2 to 8 hours after being deposited on the surface." That is really scary considering that "environmental surfaces" are things like doorknobs, elevator buttons, grocery carts, and telephones.

The good news is that the A.G. Maas Company is right here in Indianapolis to help you identify the products that you need to keep your employees and customers healthy this fall and winter.

Please call us at (317)632-8315 to learn more about the spray disinfectant, disinfectant concentrates, hand soaps, and hand sanitizers that you need to keep your facility safe!

Tired of Wasting Chemicals and Dealing with Broken Dispensers?

A few questions for you about your dispensing system first:
1) Does it leak? Is your closet a mess because of it?
2) Does it fill inconsistently and have your employees tampered with the controls?
3) Are you having a hard time finding the special products that only work in that dispenser?
4) Has the price on that special product gone way up?
5) Do you feel limited by the number of products that are available with your system?
6) Has it been difficult to train new staff on the system?


If you said yes to any of the above questions, allow me to introduce you to a completely dispenser-free portion control system from Stearns Packaging.

Diamonds are a Contractors Best Friend


I used this title because this brand new technology by Malish utilizes a unique diamond abrasive for use in coating removal and surface preparation. I am talking specifically about Diamabrush for use in concrete preparation and polishing, removal of glue, mastic, and thin set, and hardwood resurfacing.

A real bonus is that you are not using any chemicals in this process--that is not only very "green", but it is also very cost effective.

Please take about 5 minutes to view the video. Click the "Diamabrush System Overview".

We are so proud to be your Indianapolis distributor for Malish! Please call us for a quote today at (317)632-8315.

Welcome to our new Website!

A big thanks to TBH Creative for a job well done on our new Website design. It was a very fun, creative process that caused us to think about how best to communicate who we are and define what it is our customers really want from a Website.

How many times have you visited a Website, liked what you saw, and wanted to take action, but you couldn't find the phone number? It was important to me that our phone number be clear to everyone that visits the site, so it is at the bottom of every single page.

Additionally, I hope that you will find our it easy to navigate, so that you may find your answer quickly; whether that means our address so you can visit our showroom, product information, or you just wanted to check us out and learn about who we are.

Your feedback on this new design is important! I'd love to hear how much you love it or what you think we can improve. (There is always room to improve!)

I hope you enjoy the new A.G. Maas Website and look forward to selling supplies to you soon!
