Michael Klipper
CEO &
President
Michael Klipper, Chief Executive Officer and President of
Klipper Group, never had any intentions of being a detergent chemist. Accepted
to Medical School and having an extensive chemistry background, Michael was
introduced to the commercial laundry industry in 1980, and immediately embarked
to utilize alternative chemical concepts to problem solve and address the needs
of a new generation of laundry washing equipment in the United States, the
counterflow tunnel washer (continuous batch washer). Unfamiliar with the foreign
language spoken by the equipment manufacturer's chemical engineers, Michael
communicated in "molecular structures" to understand the principles of the
design. Quickly recognizing the need to "Americanize" the European process, he
altered the recommended instructions of chemical and water usages, eventually
becoming recognized as a proficient expert with an array of tunnel washer
designs.
Knowing that the "Utopic" laundry operation did not exist, Michael took
the laboratory to the Wash Aisle for practical application development of
alternative products rather than try to research and develop in an "ivory
tower". "Forgiving" chemical products were developed that enabled the laundry
operator to set quality standards. Whether it was enzymes, ozone, or low
temperature surfactant chemistry, Michael has been recognized as a developmental
leader.
Today, the Klipper Group continues to be called upon by end users,
manufacturers, and proprietors in diversified markets, seeking assistance to
problem solve with an "Alternative" approach.
Over the years, Michael has been called upon by NAILM, TRSA, IAHTM, and IIL
organizations, has been engaged by many private companies, and is known for his
many contributions to trade publications. Michael co-authored the rewrite of
Textile Laundry Technology along with Dr. Charles Riggs. This 400+ page text book is
commonly referred to as "the bible" for the commercial and industrial laundry
industries. Additionally, Michael has served on many industry committees over the years.
