As Speed Queen marks its 100th anniversary, the brand is thanking current customers and welcoming new ones with historic promotions.

Now through May 31, 2008, customers who purchase select Speed Queen models can earn rebates of up to $450 per unit. Rebates apply to many of the brand’s most efficient drying tumblers, including its 45-pound stack tumbler ($250 rebate) and profit producing washer-extractors such as the SC60 ($350 rebate).

“We are extremely proud of the century of history we’ve made from our Ripon, Wisconsin headquarters,” said Bill Bittner, Speed Queen national sales manager. “We’re also thankful for the loyal customers who have supported us all these years. These promotions are a way to say ‘thank you’ to them and invite new customers to work with the leader.”

Special 0 percent financing terms can help owners take advantage of the rebates and upgrade their stores with industry-leading Speed Queen washers and dryers. In addition, a new 10-year financing option for qualified customers can aid new store development.

Full details about Speed Queen’s historic rebates and financing promotions are available in the promotions section of the web site.
