Fabric Care Center, a 49-year-old dry cleaning business at West Washing
ton and Morris streets, is touting the benefits of galvanized steel hangers. Its new hanger supplier, Indy Hanger, a sheet
metal manufacturer at 6635 E. 30th St., is one of only a few companies in the country that still make hangers.

Like most everything else, it turns out hangers from China have flooded the market.

Indy Hanger’s product isn’t painted as are most hangers–meaning no hazardous chemicals. Galvanized steel hangers also can
last longer, reducing the number headed to landfills.

"It’s a greener hanger and it puts Hoosiers to work. It wasn’t a hard decision," said Tom Prionas, general manager of Fabric
Care Center.

Also distributing Indy Hangers’ galvanized hangers will be locally based packaging distributor Brown and Pratt.
