InSinkErator

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

InSinkErator is a company and brand name, known for producing garbage disposal systems. The company was founded in Racine, Wisconsin by John Hammes, an architect. Hammes is credited with inventing the garbage disposal in 1927.

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, which works by crushing and shredding solid kitchen waste, is located usually in the sink.

In 2006 In-Sink-Erator changed their name to InSinkErator, and redesigned the company logo to a more appealing appliance logo. They also released the Evolution product line of disposers.

InSinkErator's current company headquarters is located in Racine, Wisconsin.
