Description: Ecolab, Inc., incorporated in 1924, develops and markets premium products and services for the hospitality, foodservice, healthcare and industrial markets, including cleaning and sanitizing products and programs, pest elimination, maintenance and repair services primarily to hotels and restaurants, healthcare and educational facilities, quick service (fast-food and convenience store) units, grocery stores, commercial and institutional laundries, light industry, dairy plants and farms, food and beverage processors and the vehicle wash industry. Ecolab operates three business segments: the United States Cleaning & Sanitizing Segment, including Institutional, Food & Beverage, Kay, Healthcare, Textile Care, and Vehicle Care; the United States Other Services Segment, including Pest Elimination and GCS Service; and the International Segment. Headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota, Ecolab conducts business in approximately 70 countries outside of the United States through wholly-owned subsidiaries or, in the case of Israel and Venezuela, through joint ventures with local partners. In other countries, selected products are sold by export operations to distributors, agents or licensees, although the volume of those sales is not significant in terms of our overall revenues. In February 2008, Ecolab acquired Ecovation, Inc., a Rochester, N.Y. area-based provider of renewable energy solutions and effluent management systems primarily for the food and beverage manufacturing industry in the U.S. More
