Jeff Zvolanek ’85
|
|
Doane graduate Jeff Zvolanek, co-founder of Industrial Maid in Cortland, NE, was recently featured in this article in the Lincoln Journal Star. Industrial Maid has had great success selling ventiliation equipment to reduce the spread of COVID-19. As explained in the article, "the company's I-Series air purifier uses a Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization system that generates an electric charge to create a field of concentrated ions that travel through the air and neutralize particles, pathogens, and odors. The ions destroy pathogens by robbing them of hydrogen and can protect people from bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens." Photo courtesy: Scott Koperski, Beatrice Daily Sun
