LAKE CITY, MN - July 01, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

Pepin Manufacturing, Inc. attended Hotec Operations, held on June 8–10, 2026, at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego, California. The company showcased its American-made Lint Busters™ lint rollers to hospitality operations leaders who have been looking for reliable cleaning and maintenance solutions for hotels, resorts, and related facilities.

Hotec Operations brought together senior hospitality professionals with vetted suppliers through a format of curated one-to-one meetings. This setting enabled focused discussions on operational challenges, including cleaning efficiency, guest experience, and cost management in a high-volume environment. Pepin Manufacturing highlighted how its Lint Busters™ products address common needs for the effective removal of pet hair, lint, and debris in guest rooms, public areas, and laundry operations.

The Lint Busters™ line is manufactured in-house at Pepin Manufacturing’s ISO-13485-certified facility in Lake City, Minnesota. Production utilizes precision converting processes such as slitting, laminating, die-cutting, and assembly to create durable rollers with high-performance adhesives and quality backings. These products serve commercial applications including hospitality, veterinary, clothing manufacturing, retail, and industrial settings, delivering consistent results that help maintain cleanliness standards.

Jon Solberg, Business Development Manager of Pepin Manufacturing, stated: "Hotec Operations provided an ideal environment to connect directly with hospitality decision-makers and demonstrate how Lint Busters streamlined cleaning workflows while maintaining the high standards expected in premium guest environments."

He added: "Our team was pleased to share practical solutions developed through decades of converting expertise, helping operations teams reduce the amount of time they spend on maintenance without compromising quality standards."

Pepin Manufacturing’s participation aligns with its broader capabilities in contract converting, fabrication, and assembly services. The company supports clients across medical, industrial, aerospace, consumer goods, and specialty sectors with custom components and finished products. Its expertise in handling foams, films, adhesives, fabrics, and non-wovens translates effectively to consumer and commercial cleaning tools like the Lint Busters™ rollers.

The family-owned business, established in 1993 with manufacturing roots tracing back to 1875, emphasizes American-made production and long-term partnerships.
