Alliance_Color_CMYKAlliance Laundry Systems has expanded its direct distribution base with the acquisition of Laundry Equipment Services.

The acquisition – Alliance’s fifth distributor asset purchase in the last two years – is the company’s latest move in a strategy “to bring extraordinary service and factory support to expanding markets where there is an opportunity to partner with exceptional people,” according to ALS.

“We’ve seen LES make incredible progress in the mid-Atlantic region with our Huebsch brand,” said Craig Dakauskas, senior vice president, North America Commercial for Alliance Laundry Systems. “We are looking forward to building upon the strong foundation LES has created under its owner, Cameron Clark.”

Since 1991, LES – headquartered in Hagerstown, Md. – has been serving vended and on-premises laundry operators to the mid-Atlantic region.

“I’ve always believed I was partnered with the best company in the commercial laundry industry and delighted in helping my customers achieve new levels of success through that affiliation,” Clark explained. “This acquisition will enable us to take our customer service and support to a truly next-level experience.”
