About FoodSafe Drains
Manufacturing Quality Drainage Systems Since 1986
We are dedicated to providing safe and hygienic drainage systems for the food and beverage industry, while offering excellent service and value to our customers.
It all started with a question:
How can we make better drains for food and beverage facilities?
The North American slot drain was invented by Glen Kehler in the 1980s, which he turned into a business that he ran for over 20 years. After being acquired by Global Drain Technologies, focus pivoted to becoming experts in hygienic stainless steel manufacturing, and as demand for better drainage systems grew, Global Drain Technologies expanded. FoodSafe Drains was born from the idea of providing specific solutions for problems that plague drainage systems in the food and beverage industries.
