While still attending college, Frank Dedon began building a successful home remodeling company. With twenty-eight tradesmen in his employ by the mid-1970s, Frank was considering entering the homebuilding industry when double-digit interest rates caused the home repair market to collapse. In an unusual turn of events, Cleveland was hit by one of the worst blizzards on record in 1977-78. Along with his own personal plow trucks, Frank converted the trucks that he used in his remodeling business to snow removal equipment, and thus began Abraxus Snow Removal, Inc. Frank knew he had found the only business that would continue to prosper regardless of the state of the economy. We stopped by Abraxus Snow Removal, Inc. and Abraxus Salt, L.L.C. recently, and listened as Frank and his partners, Jeff and Gina Latina, described the company's services and offerings;

For years the snow and ice removal industry has been viewed as a secondary business, and its importance to the public has been overlooked and misplaced within the corporate world. In reality, it is a service that is extremely crucial in our area. Our team of laborers, machine operators, district foremen, and management make it possible to meet the harsh conditions that Mother Nature can display.

Abraxus Salt, L.L.C., established in April 2000, has become the largest single distributor of deicing products in the tri-state area. Our customers range from private contractors to corporations and hospitals, as well as the general public. We deliver bulk and bagged deicing materials in quantities ranging from one pallet to thousands of tons, and we offer unparalleld, 24/7 availability of deicing products, both for pick-up and delivery.

Our dome is located on Brookpark Road, and is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We handle our deliveries with our own fleet of semi-dumps and straight trucks, and pride ourselves on being able to deliver within two hours of receiving a call in emergency situations. To meet this need, we have signed the largest privately held contract with Cargill Deicing Technology in the United States. Our joint commitment with the Cargill family to provide deicing products to the public is vital to the safety and service of the community.

Abraxus Snow Removal, Inc. and Abraxus Salt, L.L.C. have the ability to adapt to all your snow and ice management needs. Call Abraxus today, and don't forget to tell them The Advocate sent you!
