MANCHESTER, N.H.—Xeros, the innovator of an ultra-low water laundry system, announced it has successfully established its presence in North America as demand has escalated for green laundry solutions. Xeros established its North American headquarters in September 2013 and has sold more than 30 polymer bead commercial laundry systems globally to dry cleaner customers that include Kleen Dry Cleaners and Crest Advanced Dry Cleaners; industrial laundries such as Sterling Linens Service; and in four of the top six hotel chains in North America, including Hyatt and Wyndham.
The Xeros Commercial Laundry System helps organizations, through the use of polymer bead technology, to deliver water and energy savings for a greener clean. The patented, award-winning system uses 70 percent less water, up to 50 percent less energy, and approximately 50 percent less detergent, to deliver superior cleaning results as compared to traditional “soap and water” methods. By combining the beads’ molecular structure with a proprietary detergent solution, dirt from soiled items is attracted and absorbed by the beads, producing cleaner results. The reusable beads have a lifespan of hundreds of washes before being collected and recycled for reintroduction into the polymer supply chain.
Key 2013 milestones for Xeros North America include:
• Launched Xeros Cleaning System for Commercial Laundry at the Clean Show in New Orleans;
• Established North American headquarters and hired key executives including Jonathan Benjamin, president, North America; David Kaupp, vice president of marketing; and Jim Basler, director of operations.
