The Royaltone Leather Cleaning Academy will be hosting a set of upcoming classes at the Royal Cleaners Suedemate Leather Cleaning Plant located in Tulsa, OK.

Two-day sessions of the RCLA cleaning course are planned for Feb. 7-8 and April 11-12, 2002.

The class is an opportunity for plant owners and managers to learn how to safely and easily spot, wetclean, dryclean, press and refinish suedes, leathers and furs with a higher profit-per-garment ratio.

The class offers a mix of classroom instruction and in-plant hands-on training. Attendees are encouraged to bring two suede or leather garments to work on during the in-plant session.

The cost of the two-day program is $400 per person.

Attendees each receive a complete instruction manual written by course instructor, Frank Lucenta, which is available in both English and Korean.

Upon completion of a course at the Royaltone Academy, attendees will be presented with a course completion certificate. After training support is provided through a free hotline at (800) 331-5506.

Class size is limited for all courses at the Royaltone Academy in order to provide individual instruction, so early registration is recommended.

S. Morantz, Inc., a 67-year-old manufacturing company of Ultrasonic Cleaning Equipment has expanded its offices to the Southwest by opening a new office in the suburban Dallas/Fort Worth, TX area.

“We have opened our doors to the Southwest and to Mexico,” said Stan Morantz, president of S. Morantz, Inc. “We can now offer even better service and support to our current and new customers in the southwest region and to any other customer who would like to visit Texas and see our systems in action.”

The new office will house Debbie’s Ultrasonic Cleaning Service, a corporate owned and operated ultrasonic cleaning service that specializes in window blind cleaning, fire and water damage restoration and mold remediation.

Serving as the general manager of the new office will be Debbie Balliet, who has worked with the Morantz organization for over 17 years helping hundreds of people start their own ultrasonic cleaning businesses.

Her new duties will be managing the day-to-day operations of the Texas office, including training new customers.

“Debbie was the natural choice to run the new office,” Morantz said. “Her vast experience and knowledge is an asset to customers who speak and train with her.”

To celebrate the opening, the company plans to offer discount prices on machines sold at the new office by December 31.
