Edward Lindsay
Lindsay Manufacturing
1921-

For more than 50 years, Edward Lindsay has been an innovator and leader in the growth of the central vacuum industry. In the days when central vacuums were rarely heard of, he recognized their importance and began to engineer and develop quality equipment. Early on, Lindsay recognized the importance of not only a clean home, but he foresaw the greater importance of a clean home environment.

Edward began his career as a research engineer for Westinghouse and distributor for Vacu-Maid in 1957. In 1963 he moved his family to Ponca City, Oklahoma, to become the general manager. Under Edward’s guidance and leadership, the company expanded rapidly through the late 60s and early 70s. In 1985, he shared the leadership of the company with his two sons, Edward Jr. and Winston III. By the early 1990s, Vacu-Maid had expanded to include a tremendous international market.

Edward’s vision and commitment continue today by constantly refining and perfecting central vacuum systems for a wide variety of markets. His responsibility is in the manufacturing facility. His son, Winston III, has taken the helm, and his grandson, Winston IV, has joined the company, but he is active on a daily basis. Edward Lindsay is one of the last of his breed, a true pioneer.
