Proudly Made in the USA: The XLERATOR Hand Dryer Story
From day one, Excel Dryer, Inc. made a commitment to manufacture in the United States.
"At Excel Dryer, 'Made in the USA' isn't just a label; it's who we are and in our DNA," said company COO William Gagnon. "Long before global trade tensions or supply chain disruptions, we made the intentional choice to build our business right here at home."
