The year was 1927. Coolidge was president. Al Jolson starred in The Jazz Singer. Lindbergh made history by flying solo from New York to Paris. And John W. Hammes, a young entrepreneur in Racine, Wisconsin was unknowingly making history of his own - inventing the world's first food waste disposal.
Believing homeowners desired more kitchen convenience in food preparation and clean up, Hammes invested the next eleven years in perfecting his design. By 1938, he had not only built a brand, he built a company.
Today, In-Sink-Erator is the best selling food waste disposal brand in the world. The company manufactures millions of food waste disposals in various sizes and capacities annually. As an innovative leader, In-Sink-Erator is also the leading brand of a full line of instant hot water dispensers and point-of-use water heaters.
And to think, the internationally known company was built on one man's vision and the strength of a single idea.
