FELC Welcomes Mercer Tool as New Sponsor

We are proud to announce that Mercer Tool Corporation ("Mercer") has agreed to sponsor the FELC. As indicated on the company website, "Mercer was founded in 1968 on Mercer Street in New York City. Mercer was the brainchild of Mel Wallick, who believed that there were many opportunities to improve the products available to the industrial markets in North America. At that time, industrial markets were supplied by a few, very expensive European and North American manufacturers. Imports were either sized incorrectly or had quality issues. Mr. Wallick believed a manufacturer could gain market share by offering quality, performance and price. These three words remain the motto of this second generation family business, a business that has now expanded to include a full line of abrasives, files and safety equipment, as well chef cutlery, apparel and accessories."

Mercer has been a long time supporter of culinary arts and hospitality educators and that fine tradition carries on through it sponsorship of our learning community. Please take the time to visit the company website if you have not done so in awhile to learn about the fine products Mercer has to offer you and your students by visiting http://www.mercertool.com/
