EDRO Celebrates Sixty Year Anniversary |
|
September 18, 2006 -- EAST BERLIN, CT. On September 18, 1946 in New Britain, Connecticut, Edro Corporation opened its doors as a small specialty tool and die shop to serve the local manufacturing market. Now sixty years later, the company is led by a third generation of family ownership from founder and original president, Roman Galinski, and is a leading producer of high quality laundry equipment.
In 1954, after almost a decade in the machining business, the company introduced DynaWash, a large capacity high speed three pocket washer-extractor able to reduce vibration transmission thanks to its patented three pocket design. The machine's unique design eliminated the time consuming and labor burdened process of transferring wet linen from separate washer to extractor and greatly improved laundry wash aisle operations. In the 1960's, the company expanded beyond the original 300-pound capacity machine and developed an extensive range of washer-extractors with capacities from 60 to 400-pounds for a variety of industry applications including PassThru machines for Clean Rooms and DynaMount suspension mounting for installations above ground floors.
During the 1980's, an open pocket range from 35 to 125-pounds was developed to help the company better compete in the the On-Premise Laundry market of hotels/motels, nursing homes, prisons and dry-cleaning. Today that range has grown into the competitive NX series of high speed rigid mount washers and is supplemented with the new CSL series of high speed soft mount series. This extensive array of equipment offers laundry solutions to all types of laundry operations. During the 1990's, advancing technologies including PLC and programmable computer controls, and single motor variable speed drives were added to improve the efficiency of the machines. Modular equipment was designed for specific shipboard applications to allow for new machine installation with limited access. Additional capacity soft mount machines and partnerships with allied trades further expanded the company's product offering. Over the last decade the company has enjoyed continued successes in its core business while constantly looking to the future to improve products and services. The company's revolutionary washing technology, DynOzone - DynaWash Ozone System, is changing the way laundry is processed in the wash aisle further improving laundering efficiencies. EDRO now offers a comprehensive line of high speed washer-extractors with capacities from 35 to 450-pounds in both rigid mount and soft mount designs, as well as a complete array of allied laundry equipment.
