Hand dryer extraordinaire, Excel Dryer, shares its approach to innovation and American manufacturing excellence
Everybody’ s experienced it: the neverending cycle of drying your hands under the mercy of a mediocre hand dryer. With dripping hands, you’ re then met with three options. You can either give up and grab a paper towel, dry your hands on your clothes, or continue to endure the long wait under the dryer, none of which are ideal. Thankfully, Denis Gagnon, President and CEO of Excel Dryer, pioneered a solution.
Headquartered in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, Excel Dryer is one of the world’ s leading hand dryer manufacturers. Following a successful executive career in the manufacturing industry, Denis acquired Excel Dryer in 1997 with a vision to transform the way the world viewed hand dryers. Enter: the XLERATOR ® – the first, high-speed, energy efficient hand dryer model. The patent was conceptualized in 2001, and since then, it has completely revolutionized the industry. To this day, the XLERATOR is the only hand dryer that’ s Made in the USA certified and offers a sustainable, hygienic, low-cost solution to the world’ s handwashing woes. The model reduces costs by a massive 95 percent in comparison to using traditional paper towels, provides up to a 94 percent reduction in carbon footprint versus paper towels, and dries hands in just eight-to-ten seconds.
