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:
“We noticed several other sandy tracts in our voyage; and the course of the Merrimack can be traced from the nearest mountain by its yellow sand-banks, though the river itself is for the most part invisible. Lawsuits, as we hear, have in some cases grown out of these causes. Railroads have been made through certain irritable districts, breaking their sod, and so have set the sand to blowing, till it has converted fertile farms into deserts, and the company has had to pay the damages.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
