INWOOD, N.Y. — Laundry industry veteran Howard Herman has retired from full-time employment with Laundrylux and its predecessor Wascomat (Bermil Industries) after 43 years of service, Laundrylux reports.
“Howard has been a stalwart of our industry for more than four decades, with friends at virtually every manufacturer and distributor across North America,” says Neal Milch, Laundrylux CEO. “His knowledge, dedication, hard work and especially people skills helped make the Wascomat brand what it is today.
“Howard started in the warehouse after being hired by Bernie Milch and worked his way up to president of Laundrylux. Howard’s unique blend of talents won’t be equaled any time soon. Though he will be missed in the office every day, Howard is continuing to make a difference on a part-time basis and will continue to serve on the Board of the Coin Laundry Association until 2017.”
Milch says he recently spent time with Herman on company business outside the USA and that Herman is personally following up on “defined sales opportunities.”
The entire Laundrylux team celebrated with Herman and his wife, Terry, at the company’s annual holiday party last year, commemorating its 60th year in business and its status as Electrolux’s longest continuous customer relationship in the world, Milch adds.
