Milnor’s Albers Retires

Pellerin Milnor Corporation, based in Kenner, Louisiana, has announced the retirement of Laundry Systems Marketing Director Dick Albers.

Albers first became involved in the laundry industry in 1961, one year after graduating first in his mechanical engineering class at Vanderbilt University. He began his career as a washer engineer for GE, then joined FMC Corporation, where he participated in the first successful North American batch washer installation. In 1985, he joined Milnor as a proud father of three and an Honors MBA graduate of Harvard Business School.

During his thirty-year career with Milnor, Albers served as Product Sales Specialist for Batch Washers and, when necessary, as a Regional Sales Manager. He traveled globally to meet with dealers and customers, participate in installations, and offer his expertise. Albers values the relationships he built over the years, where colleagues became family, and reflects on Milnor as a place “where you want to do your job – not feel you have to do it. And in the end, someone will always offer you a ride home.”

“Dick’s knowledge of laundries and tunnel washing is truly unmatched in our industry,” said Rick Kelly, Pellerin Milnor vice president of Sales & Marketing. “We are grateful for his dedication and innumerable contributions to our customers and Milnor. We wish Dick and his wife Jane all the best in his well-deserved retirement.”
