InSinkErator
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
InSinkErator is a company and brand name, known for producing waste disposal systems, generally called garbage disposals. The company was founded in Racine, Wisconsin by John W. Hammes, an architect. Hammes is credited with inventing the waste disposal in 1927, which works by crushing and shredding solid kitchen waste.[1]
The company is now a division of Emerson Appliance Solutions, part of Emerson (NYSE: EMR), a global technology and engineering company which serves industrial, commercial, and consumer markets.
The name is a play on the word "incinerator" and refers to the fact that the mouth of the disposal unit, is located usually "in" the "sink."
In 2006 In-Sink-Erator changed their name to InSinkErator, and redesigned the company logo. They also released the Evolution product line of disposers.
InSinkErator's current company headquarters is located in Racine, Wisconsin.
