A History of Innovation and Manufacturing Milestones.

Blakeslee

In 1880, George S. Blakeslee began to invent the first mechanical dish washing machine and became the founding father of the industry. George spent the next 15 years perfecting his first commercial machine and the sixth edition was successfully in production. Each machine was hand built by skilled craftsmen and were sold all over the U.S to larger restaurant operators.

Four generations of the Blakeslee Family remained dedicated to the growth of their Chicago-based dishwasher manufacturing business, with knowledge and experience that was passed down from generation to generation. During this era, Blakeslee became known in the rapidly expanding foodservice industry as “The Experts” in dishwashing machine design and manufacturing.

Today, Blakeslee continues to perfect their dishwasher line by offering state-of-the-art electronic controls and offering a full product line of commercial dishwashing equipment, that are energy efficient and reduce the consumption of water & chemicals used. Choose from various models such as: Hood/Door Type Dishwashers, Undercounter Warewashers, Wash & Store, Rack Type and Flight Type Dishwashers.
