Wheelabrator Group Celebrates 100 Years of Innovation and Excellence in 2008
Wheelabrator Group is this year celebrating 100 years of technological excellence, product innovation and increased customer profits. It is 100 years since Verne E. Minich founded the company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, in 1908.
Currently employing over 1,250 people in seventeen countries, including the industry’s leading engineers, the company is dedicated to providing customers old and new with tailored and effective business solutions.
Robert E.Joyce Jr, chief executive of Wheelabrator Group, said: “The group is extremely delighted to have achieved this historic milestone. We believe our long-term success is attributable to a continual emphasis on technology, innovation and unparalleled customer service.
“Our designs are at the forefront of technology which allows our customers to increase their throughput while lowering both production time and cost. Our focus on customer profitability has been bringing customers back for 100 years for all their surface preparation requirements.”
Over the years Wheelabrator has developed machines and services to cater for the requirements of all industries and companies large or small. The most recent edition to the Wheelabrator Group is the Equipment Modernisation Programme (EMP), which allows customers to incorporate the latest technology, for example the new TITAN or EZEFIT turbine famlies, into their exisiting equipment rather than spending on new machinery.
Mr Joyce continues: “We supply surface preparation solutions to all industries, including aerospace, automotive, medical and foundries, and we have a full understanding of individual requirements which enables us to make existing processes stronger, faster and more efficient, be this via new machine installation, upgrades or services.
“Providing innovative solutions for our customers will remain at the heart of our business, and I hope customers and employees alike will continue to celebrate future successes with us.”
