Vacuum Dealers Trade Association
Hall of Fame
Des Moines, Iowa
The following individuals from M.D. Manufacturing, Inc. have been inducted into the VACUUM CLEANER HALL OF FAME a plaque bearing their picture and the following dedication is permanently a part of vacuum history.
CHARLES EMDY
Charles Emdy, founder of M.D. Manufacturing, was a visionary. Born on a farm in the middle of Texas and having only an eighth-grade education, he left to work for the Ford Motor company to build Model A's. His love for metal-working and tool-making grew until finally, he built the first M.D. Built-In Central Vacuum - out of wood! His streamline manufacturing ideas, which were passed on to his son, still confound many who consider him to be a mechanical genius. His love for the industry was so great, that he continued to help build parts for M.D. until he was 88 years old. Humble, hardworking, and forward thinking - what more could we honor?
Charles was the driving, motivating, and influencing force behind Wayne Emdy. He trained his son well: expect to work hard for your money, never give up, and always do right ... even when others do not. "Charlie" was the tooling genius behind the first 2-(small) motor built-in central vacuums, the first 3- motor systems, the most extensive, standard filtration designs, dual intake ports, and many other inventions. Although he never received any awards for his work, he was blessed by seeing his products in action.
WAYNE EMDY
Integrity. One word alone best describes Wayne Emdy, second generation owner operator of M.D. Manufacturing - innovator in the built-in central vacuum industry. Until the day of his untimely death in June of 1992, when Wayne Emdy told you something or consummated a deal with a simple handshake - you knew his word was as good as gold. His uncompromising commitment to run his business with utmost integrity to bring glory to God has left an impression, no doubt, upon his fellow manufacturers, his dealers, his suppliers, his friends, and everyone of his employees, all of which would concur that Wayne was always true to his word....even if it cost him time and money.
As a young teenager, Wayne learned early the metal-forming and bending business from his father and always displayed an added amount of professionalism. As his parents' "mom and pop" built-in vacuum business grew, he saw the potential that existed from providing a top quality product backed by the integrity of his parents. In 1971, Charles Emdy, knowing the potential his son possessed, turned M.D. Manufacturing over to Wayne, who then went on to design the first high-CFM, small-motor systems in the industry, the most extensive standard filtration systems, and ultimately patented a unique, sound deadening system to reduce noise levels. A few of his projects are still being worked on today which may further revolutionize the vacuum industry. He is one of a rare breed who could conceptualize an idea, prototype it himself, produce the tooling to manufacture it, and then market and sell it all by himself. And, he even had the work ethic to box it up and ship it himself. As a charter supporter of VDTA and regular instructor in the seminars, Wayne Emdy was always a humble man of integrity - and it showed!
