MENOMONEE FALLS, WI (February 12, 2001) - In 1917, when Harry Bradley designed the first washfountain to allow his factory workers quick and easy access to handwashing, a basic building block for a company's success was laid down - that the Bradley Corporation would be driven by innovation.

After incorporating in 1921 and now 80 years later, the company's commitment to innovation is well established through a string of product designs that have become industry standards. With a solid reputation for quality products, a customer-first service mentality and the industry's broadest offering of washroom solutions, Bradley Chairman and CEO Donald H. Mullett expects nothing less than 80 more years of the same.

"Our objective will continue to be steady growth in the markets we serve," says Mullett, "while at the same time becoming unequaled in our ability to achieve the highest level of quality and customer satisfaction."

Mullett also notes that Bradley has benefited from the talents of a loyal workforce who have created the great products the company has become known for.

"You don't realize the kind of success we have by just one portion of your company doing well," he says. "It takes each piece of the organization working together to achieve sustained growth."
