discussions at the moment, so there may be some negative implications in terms of export, but over the next 12 months, we’ re planning to grow the business significantly.”
Following the success of the XLERATOR, it’ s evident that Excel Dryer will continue its growth on the path of American manufacturing excellence. As the company continues to lead the way in the hand dryer revolution, Denis hones in on one of the most important qualities of the business:“ We’ re proud to boast an American-made product and to have efficiencies in place to remain cost effective, as well as enabling our employees do a great job. We’ re not worried by the threat of tariffs; we’ ve always manufactured here by choice and we’ re proud to be made in the United States.”
