The Edge-Sweets Company was founded in 1887 as the Frank Edge Company, to produce saw blades for the furniture industry. In 1950, the emphasis at Edge switched to saws for the newly developed polyurethane foams, and with the acquisition of the North American Urethanes (NAU) Machinery Division in 1975, it included dispensers for foams and elastomer in its stock. In 1985, Edge merged with Martin Sweets Company to form the Edge-Sweets Company and offer the combined products and knowledge of both companies with the ability to custom-engineer systems. Edge-Sweets claims to offer the widest range of urethane process equipment in the world. The equipment is designed and built in the United States.
Famous quotes containing the word company:
“Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
