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:
“The Bermudas are said to have been discovered by a Spanish ship of that name which was wrecked on them.... Yet at the very first planting of them with some sixty persons, in 1612, the first governor, the same year, “built and laid the foundation of eight or nine forts.” To be ready, one would say, to entertain the first ship’s company that should be next shipwrecked on to them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
