M&B Hangers

Since 1943, M&B Hangers has been producing hangers here in the United States. M&B is family-owned, which means they are not driven to meet the quarterly expectations of Wall
Street and can focus single-mindedly on exceeding the expectations of their customers. They base their business on one simple concept: Integrity To Hang Onto.

M&B is owned by Milton Magnus, son Mack and son in law John Thomas. In addition to the Leeds, AL plant, they own a plant in Piedras Negras, Mexico, so all hangers are made in North America. This means customers can depend on a fast and reliable supply of hangers. Stock is never tied up in a harbor waiting to be unloaded or delayed at sea. No ocean voyages means no rusty hangers!

M&B supplies top-quality wire garment hangers and paper products to the drycleaning and textile rental industries. M&B is creating new products to meet customers’ changing needs every day.

Steve Mathews is Western US Sales Manager. He recently visited The Minnesota Chemical Co to meet with Chris Schiefelbein. Supply Department Manager and Bruce Edwards, Warehouse Manager.

Be Safe Working on Equipment

When working on any equipment in your laundry that doesn’t require you to have the power on, always unplug it or turn off the breaker. For additional safety, put on a lockout/tagout so no one can turn the power back on while you are working. Never disconnect any safeties—they are there to protect you.

When replacing bad fuses be sure to replace them with the same volts and amps. Never use a higher rated fuse or you could cause a fire or short. Make sure you use the same factory part you take out. If you use a different part, you alter the machine—it may be harder to fix down the road. This could also void your warranty. Laundry equipment can be very dangerous
if you don’t take the proper safety measures. Avoid wearing loose clothing or a necktie that could be pulled into a pulley or belt. Whenever you take off belt guards always replace them when you finish working on machine. When working on equipment never stand in water so you don’t have to worry about slipping or an electrical shock.

Be safe!

Water Conservation for On-Premise Laundries

Milnor’s 60 lb. capacity washer-extractors feature RinSave® water conservation technology standard

Current economic conditions have forced healthcare facilities to focus on operating costs, particularly back-of-the-house operations—including the on-premise laundry, according to healthcare operators.

This innovative process called RinSave® eliminates up to two high-level rinses (.33 gallons per pound processed) and up to 10 minutes in the wash formula. It saves labor, water, sewer and electricity which are the largest direct operating expenses in the laundry. RinSave® conserves water, further substantiates your facility’s green program and is infinitely sustainable, without further investment.
