With the conclusion of the 2019 Clean Show in New Orleans, LA, Pellerin Milnor Corporation’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Rick Kelly, said he was pleased with the traffic in the Milnor booth. “Our new sling system – MilRail – was positively received by customers at the show, along with the introduction of our new lines of barrier washers and soft-mount cabinet washers.”
This year’s Clean show highlighted the introduction of the MilRail™ sling system. “As we continue to grow our footprint in the commercial and industrial laundry market space, a natural progression for us was to develop our own rail system,” explains Kelly.
In keeping with the idea of expanding our product offerings, Milnor introduced the MTF-Series and MWF125 to grow our soft-mount line. The introduction of the MWB-Series barrier washers provided additional solutions for the healthcare and clean room markets.
During the Clean Show, Milnor hosted a banquet and awards ceremony for its dealer network to celebrate the previous years’ sales efforts. The following top sales awards were presented to Milnor dealers on Friday, June 21 by Pellerin Milnor President and CEO James W. Pellerin.
