About ELODE USA

A proud US family business

Since 2018, founder Alex Sr. brings the rigor of a U.S. Military Lead Design Engineer to sludge drying — a background in high-stakes design and optimization — and his children Alex Jr. and Julia carry that commitment to performance, efficiency, and service.

ELODE USA is not a subsidiary of or affiliated with any foreign entity. We hold the ELODE® trademark and the intellectual property behind our machines. Imitations of ELODE have failed in the field; we design, engineer, and manufacture our machines to US standards. We stock spare parts in Norwood, NJ and service every unit we sell.
