Oshkosh, Wis.—Girbau North America (GNA) recently recognized Poseidon Textile Care Systems LLC (Poseidon), in Troy, Mich., with the 2019 Business Partner of the Year award.
Led by Michael “Stucky” Szczotka and Jeff Quail, Poseidon was recognized for outstanding sales and support of Poseidon Textile Care Systems®-branded products, including high-performance wet cleaning machines, new-technology dryers and flatwork ironers.
“Several years ago, we found an expert and icon in the textile care industry and drew him into laundry,” said GNA Vice President of Sales Joel Jorgensen of Szczotka. “As the owner of Eagle Star Equipment, Stucky has been a top-performing distributor for 25 years. So when Girbau was developing a new, innovative wet cleaning system, we turned to him again for expert leadership and guidance in a process and results based segment of Textile Care. Then, two years prior to the launch of the Poseidon brand, Jeff Quail dug into his immense expertise and formulated processing solutions and value propositions for the Poseidon system to their ‘show-me’ textile care customers and market.”
Soon after, Szczotka and Quail formed Poseidon LLC, took the lead with the new brand, and began placing it with dry cleaners, textile care and restoration enterprises across the country. “We are grateful for the history we share with Stucky and Jeff, for their expertise, and for their commitment to building a business case and satisfied customers for the Poseidon brand,” said Jorgensen.
