Gurtler Industries Creates Wastewater Division

Industry veteran Davis tapped to direct new venture

SOUTH HOLLAND, Ill. — Gurtler Industries Inc., a manufacturer of detergents and chemicals for the commercial and institutional laundry industry, has formed a new Wastewater Division, the company reports.

According to Gurtler, the Wastewater Division has a full line of wastewater treatment chemicals that can serve the needs of multiple industries and multiple types of wastewater treatment systems. Included in the full-service offering will be specialized on-site service and technical support. 

Gurtler also says the new program includes technology that can significantly reduce the volume of sludge generated in traditional wastewater treatment programs, reducing disposal costs. 

It will provide full support for its customers, helping resolve regulatory, environmental and operational problems. 

Stuart Davis, who has 36 years of experience in the laundry wastewater market, has joined the company as the director of the new division, Gurtler says. Davis recently left GenChem International, a firm he co-founded in 2001, which markets wastewater treatment specialty chemicals. 

Prior to GenChem, he served in leadership roles for wastewater management organizations that include Indianapolis’ Belmont Avenue Treatment Facility, Metcalf and Eddy, and AO Services.  

Davis has a bachelor of science degree from Indiana University. He holds two patents and has another pending regarding the treatment of industrial laundry wastewater.
