A patent was applied for in 1952 and granted in 1956. He and a partner formed the Delta Electrical Specialty Company (DESCO) to manufacture and sell the device named the Circuitracer, which we still manufacture. In 1979 John McDonald sold his company and retired. We incorporated under the name Desco Industries, Inc. in Brea, CA. We quickly outgrew the Brea facility and moved to Walnut, CA in 1981. We moved again in 1999 to a much larger building in Chino, CA. Our corporate headquarters is also located in Chino. After 28 years we now operate manufacturing facilities in seven locations in the United States and two in the United Kingdom. With sales worldwide we hold over 40 patents.

Scott founded Scott, then called Uniloy Accessories Corporation, in his basement in Lancaster, NY as a manufacturer the first pivoting tailwheel for airplanes. The company grew steadily for the first few years as manufacturer of several different components and parts used in the aviation industry. Because of a name conflict with another company, Uniloy changed its name to Scott Aviation. Later that year, Scott’s business exploded when the British Royal Air Force asked Mr. Scott to develop a walk-around, on-board oxygen system for its pilots so they could safely fly to altitudes of 30,000 feet over the Burma Hump into China. From that invention, Mr. Scott developed the first Air-Pak SCBA model in 1945 called the 6000 B4A. The price was $160 U.S. Thinking there was a market for his product for the fire service, Mr. Scott approached the local departments about his SCBA, but it wasn’t an overnight sensation. Back then, firefighters were nicknamed “smoke eaters” for good reason. They simply used wet handkerchiefs or canister masks to block out smoke as they fought fires. Over the years, Scott Aviation developed more products for flight, including the familiar yellow breathing masks used on commercial airliners, fighter jet pilots’ masks, and an underwater SCBA called the Hydro-Pak. Figgie International, a then large conglomerate of 33 companies, purchased Scott Aviation in 1967. Nine years later, Scott partnered with NASA to develop the first high pressure (4500 psi) SCBA. In 1980, Figgie bought Tool Services Co. in Monroe, N.C., and moved the SCBA manufacturing there to operate as Scott Health & Safety. Shortly afterward, the Air-Pak® Fifty™ SCBA was developed and quickly took over the fire market as the SCBA of choice. Today, Scott enjoys over 55% market share in the fire service industry with eight of the eleven largest U.S. cities using the Scott Air-Pak SCBA. In 1997, Figgie International sold off all its holdings except Scott and changed its corporate name to Scott Technologies. Also, in 1997, Scott took its first foray into the international market, specifically the newly opened Chinese market, to form the joint venture manufacturing facility Shanghai Eagle to develop SCBA for the Asian market. That venture was successful in its first year of operation and is now the largest SCBA manufacturer in the region. In 1999, the company split into two separate businesses – Scott Aviation and Scott Health and Safety. In 2000, Scott Health & Safety acquired Kemira Safety Oy with a 70 year history of manufacturing quality, innovative respiratory products. Kemira became Scott Oy and continues to supply Scott with innovative designs and products for industrial workers. During this time we also entered the gas detection market and through a number of ventures developed what is now the Scott instruments product line. This is a recognized leader in the field of portable and fixed gas detection. Tyco International purchased the company in 2001 and placed it into its Tyco Safety Products (TSP) group within its Fire & Security division (TFS) to operate as a Strategic Business Unit (SBU). Over the next few years, Tyco grew Scott’s global presence by adding several very respected and powerful brands to the Scott Health & Safety family, starting in 2001 with Protector Technologies, a Skelmersdale, England-based manufacturer of respiratory protection products. Protector Technologies brought with it successful product brands such as Sabre (breathing apparatus) and Protector (personal protective equipment) that were established and popular in the European, Middle East and Australian markets. Sabre has since been folded into Scott Health & Safety and is being marketed as a Scott brand. Protector remains a strong brand for Scott Health & Safety and is a recognized leader in personal protective equipment (PPE) around the world. At the same time, our business in Australia was integrated into Scott Health & Safety. This includes the Protector and Unisafe brands, recognized as a leader in eye, head and ear protection equipment. These products are sold throughout Australia and New Zealand by distributors and at home improvement retail stores similar to the Home Depot stores in the U.S. Pratt Safety, an Australian distributor of safety signs, markers, and decontamination equipment, was also added to Scott’s product offering. In 2004, Tyco divested its last connection with the original Scott Aviation to concentrate on Scott’s core line – personal safety products. Later in 2004, Tyco added Fire Equipment de Mexico, S.A. (F.E.M.S.A.), a small manufacturer of firefighter protective clothing and other firefighting gear, to Scott’s product line. F.E.M.S.A. distributes its products to the South & Latin American markets and is located in Mexico.

After 80 years, Conbraco is an American success story that’’’’s still being written. The company now known as Apollo® Valves earned a reputation for developing new products to meet emerging market demands. In 1968, the company introduced its Apollo® Series 70 ball valve to the commercial market. A revolutionary innovation at the time, the product became the most specified ball valve in the world. Line extensions have resulted in new materials, new sizes and new applications for the classic Apollo ball valve. In 2005, the company brought all of its products under the Apollo® Valves brand. Products which had been sold under the Conbraco brand included plumbing and heating products, water gauges, pop safety and relief valves, marine fittings and backflow prevention devices. Those lines joined the company’’’’s ball valves, actuators and mixing valves as part of the complete Apollo Valves family of products. "As proud as we are of the Conbraco tradition that goes back eight decades, it is the Apollo name, and the quality and reliability that it stands for, that has won the confidence of our customers," said Cal Mosack, Executive Vice President. Conbraco was founded by Clarence Mosack, grandfather of Cal Mosack, company president Glenn Mosack and vice president of marketing Carole Mosack Lee. They assumed control of the company after their father Carl Mosack retired as president in 2001. The Mosack family has led the privately-held company for three generations. Nearly all Apollo® valves are produced in U.S. facilities that are second to none in the industry, including ISO-registered, state-of-the-art foundries and manufacturing facilities in Pageland and Conway, S.C. The company’’’’s headquarters is located in Matthews, N.C. "Some of our competitors claim to be domestic while they are really sourcing most of their products from the Far East", said Glenn Mosack. "We actually manufacture 95 to 98% of all the components in our valves in our own plants in the Carolinas, right down to the yellow handles!" Investments in manufacturing, quality control and distribution have surpassed $100 million in the past 10 years alone. Employing "lean manufacturing" practices in U.S. plants allows the company to improve deliveries, control costs and provide better customer service. Open To Change, Eager For The Future While some see valve manufacturing as a mature industry, Conbraco sees continuous opportunities for innovation. The company is constantly developing and introducing new products like the 34HL thermostatically-controlled mixing valve, the first valve to meet ASSE 1069 requirements for multiple fixtures. By focusing on problem-solving innovations, U.S.-made quality and the best delivery and fill rates in the industry, Apollo Valves will continue to thrive. "We’’’’re a stronger company today because of our history," said Glenn Mosack. "Now, we’’’’re looking toward the future."

Later, Chicago built copper and steel washers, dryers, and accessories so a complete laundry could be outfitted with Chicago products. As the demand for expanded choices and more productive equipment grew after World War II, Chicago began to focus only on flatwork finishing equipment. Today, the Chicago line is the worlds widest range of separating, feeding, ironing, folding and linen handling equipment for laundries of all sizes. No one knows more about flatwork finishing than Chicago. Its our only business and weve been at it for over 100 years. Whether you need to finish millions of pounds of healthcare, institutional, or hospitality linen per year, or just a few hundred pounds per week, Chicago has the solution thats just right for you. Finishing Is Our Only Business Chicago specializes in designing and building systems to feed, dry, iron, and fold washed sheets, pillowcases and table linen, as well as tumble dried towels, blankets, patient gowns, scrubs and specialty items. Just as important as the hardware and software installed in any project are the knowledge, dedication, and creativity of the people in the organization chosen to provide the most efficient system to perform the flatwork finishing task. As you will see, technical expertise, product innovation, quality, and tradition are powerful reasons to choose Chicago as your single source for flatwork finishing innovation and solutions. Why We Finish First Chicago is one of the few finishing equipment manufacturers in the world that designs and fabricates its own products, including electronic controls, rather than relying on outside sources. This vertical integration gives Chicago complete quality control of manufacturing from start to finish, the ability to offer additional standard features while retaining a competitive price, the flexibility to promptly respond to changing customer needs, and single source responsibility for the entire finishing system. The Innovation Leader Because flatwork finishing is Chicagos specialty, our designers are always interested in finding creative ways to accommodate a users special needs. Throughout our product range, you will find "Chicago Originals" developed in response to these customer requests. Many are patented others are just a better way of doing things. It requires additional time and investment to develop and build products incorporating these innovations, but the gains in efficiency and finished linen quality for our customers are well worth the extra effort. Extensive Manufacturing Facility Chicagos factory has the widest assortment of high production lathes, press brakes, and metal-working tools in the industry, providing Chicago with the production capacity to offer its broad range of models and value-added features. Chicago also owns the U.S. laundry industrys first computer operated laser cutting centers. Up to 3000 watts of laser power with flying optics and servo drive are used to precisely position and cut openings for rolls, bearings, and other components. One of Chicagos laser cutting systems is also the only one in the laundry industry that stores sheets of flat steel of different gauges and can be programmed to automatically load and cut the correct piece of steel unattended "around the clock" to help ensure maximum flexibility and speed in the fabrication of Chicagos diverse line. After the basic structural and mechanical parts have been fabricated, experienced teams individually assemble each Chicago model, integrating the highest quality electrical, pneumatic, and heating components into the assembled product. The final step before shipment is the testing and inspection of each unit under load conditions with an assortment of linen. Our World Is Flat. Our Ideas Arent. Because Chicago concentrates all of its efforts on flatwork finishing, it is the industry leader in developing innovative products and technology. This long list of originals which have become "best sellers" continues to grow as a result of Chicagos ongoing commitment to research and development in this specialized field. This is your assurance that a capital expenditure for Chicago equipment is an investment in a properly sized system with excellent long-term value. One Call Can Save A Lot Of Energy. Including Yours. Through over a century of continuous family ownership, Chicago has worked with local distributors to provide objective planning and sizing help to users and facility designers, as well as parts and service support throughout the long useful life of the equipment. Chicagos broad product range ensures that it can supply the proper solutions to match a laundrys exact needs, while efficiently complimenting washing and ancillary equipment. The quantity and fabric content of linen to be processed, as well as local utility, labor, floor space, and future expansion factors are considered by Chicagos laundry planning department before a no-obligation equipment recommend

Wauk......A century of innovation and engine-building expertise, a reputation for rugged durability and a commitment to continued innovation have made Waukesha® a leading name in gaseous-fueled engines and generator sets. Waukesha first entered the industry in 1906 when two young men – Harry Horning, a mechanical engineer and Frederick Ahern, a master mechanic – established their Blue Front Garage in Waukesha, Wisconsin, U.S.A. to repair and store automobiles. Later they formed their own engine-manufacturing firm, The Waukesha Motor Company to provide engines for boats, automobiles, trucks, and farm and construction equipment. Beginning in the 1980s, the Waukesha engine product line has focused on large, gaseous-fueled stationary engines for power generation and gas compression applications around the world. Today, Waukesha engines are part of GE Energys gas engines portfolio. The engines are hard at work, meeting gas compression and power generation needs in remote oil and gas fields, supplying hospitals and airports with essential electricity, and providing electrical and mechanical drive power for manufacturing facilities the world over. Waukesha engines offer performance in isolated, mission-critical and demanding applications that require them to run non-stop for months on end, stopping only for essential routine maintenance. GE Energy has focused on developing features that make a Waukesha engine a sound investment – durable design and construction extended maintenance intervals unsurpassed fuel flexibility and rich-burn, lean-burn alternatives for optimal fuel efficiency at varying emissions compliance levels. Highlighting the long tradition of Waukesha innovation is the CFR, a small engine used to measure fuel combustion characteristics. This invention, introduced more than 80 years ago, made it possible to refine gasoline and diesel fuels to a consistent standard and enabled engine makers to design their products to deliver consistent performance when burning a fuel with a specific rating. Today, eight decades after its introduction, the CFR remains the only fuel-rating unit approved by ASTM International. In 2006, the Waukesha low-emission, high-efficiency APG1000 engine entered the world power generation industry. GE Energy remains committed to the continued development of flexible and more efficient engines that deliver more power and use less fuel while significantly reducing emissions. A growing, global distribution network provides a local presence in 92 countries, supplying factory-certified service technicians and Genuine Waukesha parts to keep Waukesha engines running at their peak around the clock.
