Ramco Has Been Cleaning Wichita Since 1977
Nearly five decades of commercial cleaning in one community is not an accident. It is the result of doing the unglamorous work well, consistently, for a long time.
Ramco Building Maintenance was founded in Wichita in 1977. In 2002, Paula Kirk acquired the company with a clear intention: build it into something lasting by investing in the right people. That same year, she hired Matt Brewer, a young sales professional who had recently married his wife Maria, had a newborn at home, and was willing to bet on a company that was still finding its footing. Paula took a chance on Matt, knowing the company’s budget was tight and that bringing on a salesperson was a real financial risk. He spent the next 23 years proving it was worth it.
Those early years were defined by account-by-account growth and a commitment to service that earned trust before it earned revenue. Ramco brought on Johnson Controls’ Wichita manufacturing facility, then the Coleman Company, where Paula worked hard to set up and train staff at these two large facilities for successful sustainability. Those wins did not come from a sales and cleaning playbook. They came from delivering consistent results and being the kind of company that does not disappear after the contract is signed.
Alongside Paula, her husband Chris Hoose served as the company’s CFO, building the financial systems and operational infrastructure that gave Ramco a stable foundation to grow from. His steady hand in managing the business side of the company, and his direct involvement in planning the eventual ownership transition, made the long-term success of that transition possible.
In 2005, Paula promoted Matt to General Manager. Over the following two decades, he built out the company’s leadership structure, deepened client relationships across manufacturing, banking, healthcare, and education, and established the operational standards Ramco runs on today. Clients including Intrust Bank, Occidental Chemicals, WSU Tech, and Cowley Community College became long-term partners during that period, not because of pricing, but because of reliability.
In 2017, Matt and Maria purchased a stake in the company. On January 1, 2026, they became its full owners, completing a transition more than two decades in the making.
What Has Always Set Ramco Apart
Every person who enters your building under the Ramco name is a Ramco employee. Not a subcontractor. Not a staffing agency fill-in. A trained employee who reports to Ramco management and is supervised by Ramco leadership. That has been true since the beginning, and it remains non-negotiable.
The company does not lock clients into long-term contracts. The only thing holding the relationship together is the quality of the work, which is exactly how it should be.
A Family-Led Company, in Practice
Family has shaped Ramco in ways that go beyond ownership. Maria Brewer’s close-knit Hispanic heritage is reflected in the culture of the company. A significant portion of Ramco’s workforce comes from Hispanic backgrounds, including Angelica Yanez (Operations Manager & Leadership chair) and her mother Gloria (Manager), who has been with Ramco for over 25 years. The company takes genuine pride in building an environment where every employee has real opportunities to grow and is treated with dignity and respect.
Matt and Maria’s son Myles now leads sales, account management, and also sits on the Leadership team. Their daughter Mia contributes through payroll and administrative operations.
The Standard That Has Not Changed
Ramco is not a franchise. It is not a regional chain with a call center. When something goes wrong, you reach a person who knows your building and has the authority to fix it. That accessibility and accountability is what has kept clients with the company for years, in some cases for decades.
What began with someone taking a chance on a young sales hire in 2002 has grown into a responsibility to invest in the people and businesses that make Wichita work. That is the standard Ramco holds itself to every day.
