SEYMOUR "SY"
TECHNER, 79, of
Toronto, formerly of
Detroit, died Dec. 23,
2008.
Early the 1960s,
he was instrumental
in building the first
modern automatic
carwashes in prime
locations in Detroit and Windsor.
Based on their overwhelming suc-
cess, in 1965 he was asked to become
exclusive Canadian distributor for
Sherman Equipment, the leading
North American automatic carwash
equipment manufacturer.
In 1970, Sherman Equipment built
a manufacturing plant in Toronto
in order to support Mr. Techner's
sales and produce all of the carwash
systems for the growing Canadian
market. By 1972, he had purchased
the manufacturing rights and the
new Canadian factory from Sherman
Equipment. Over the next several
years, he changed the focus of the
company to designing and manufac-
turing larger vehicle wash systems for
bus and truck fleets and expanded to
sell throughout North America to the
municipal Transportation Authorities.
