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:
“Yet, hermit and stoic as he was, he was really fond of sympathy, and threw himself heartily and childlike into the company of young people whom he loved, and whom he delighted to entertain, as he only could, with the varied and endless anecdotes of his experiences by field and river: and he was always ready to lead a huckleberry-party or a search for chestnuts and grapes.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
