Colmac Industries was established in 1959. Since that time, Colmac has been the innovator of many popular laundry finishing products that are now staples in the industry. Colmac was the first to mass produce a tunnel finisher with a direct gas heating system, the first to develop the triple buck shirt press, the first to create a vertical, one-step pant pressing system, the first to develop a high speed computerized hangering system, and the first to design and manufacture a straight-through, modular tunnel finishing system. Colmac recently became the first to install a direct water-to-steam tunnel finisher and a modular PLC controlled tunnel finisher. Colmac is known for quality. Over 93% of all Colmac customers surveyed would buy another Colmac. Colmac Industries offers a number of publications on request: Tunnel Tips (helpful pages on tunnel finishing), Finishing Touches (Colmac Newsletter), Handling Blended Garments in the Laundry, and product brochures as well as videos on some products.
