Nelbud Services Group Inc., the nation’s largest self-performing commercial kitchen ventilation services provider, has appointed Michael Crafton president and
chief executive officer. He is the former president of 360 Services, which merged with Nelbud in 2015. The company has also announced a new centralized headquarters location in Indianapolis, where Crafton founded 360 Services, and formally adopts the Nelbud name across the organization and rebrands the collective effort to demonstrate a continued commitment to innovative services and technologies.

Over the past three years, Nelbud and 360 Services have combined several acquired companies under the Nelbud name. During that time, Nelbud has doubled its geographic footprint to serve 23 states with unparalleled reporting technology. Services include commercial kitchen exhaust system cleaning, maintenance, and repair, along with fire protection and grease trap pumping services. Nelbud is the only ISO 9001 certified hood cleaning company in the country and a founding member of the International Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Association.

Crafton succeeds Nelson Dilg, who founded Nelbud in Atlantic City in 1981. Dilg is retiring.
