Continental Equipment Company was established in 1960 as a trusted solution provider in the Industrial Washer Market, delivering high-performance cleaning systems tailored to the demanding needs of manufacturers. From the beginning, the company focused on engineering durable, efficient washer systems designed to meet the rigorous standards of industries such as dairy, food processing, automotive, aerospace, and metal preparation. Their broad range of industrial washers has helped customers improve cleanliness, consistency, and operational efficiency across a variety of production environments.
With deep application knowledge and a commitment to innovation, Continental Equipment Company built a strong reputation for designing systems that not only meet regulatory and quality requirements but also integrate seamlessly into existing manufacturing processes. Whether removing oils and contaminants from precision metal parts or ensuring sanitary conditions in food and dairy production, their equipment has played a critical role in supporting product quality and safety.
In 2012, International Thermal Systems (ITS) purchased Continental Equipment Company, further strengthening its capabilities and expanding its reach. The acquisition brought together Continental’s industrial washer expertise with ITS’s broader engineering resources and manufacturing strength. This partnership enhanced product development, service support, and long-term reliability for customers across North America and beyond.
Today, under the ITS umbrella, Continental Equipment Company continues to support customers with:
- OEM and replacement spare parts
- Service and technical support
- System upgrades and retrofits
- Preventative maintenance programs
From preventative maintenance and system upgrades to modernizing legacy equipment, the team is dedicated to extending equipment life and maximizing performance. Customers benefit from responsive technical support and a commitment to keeping their washer systems operating at peak efficiency for years to come.
