Alliance Laundry Systems has acquired the distribution assets of Bestway Laundry Solutions, headquartered in Corona, Calif. The distributorship is a leading provider of UniMac on-premises laundry equipment.
“California is an area where we see excellent potential for growth, and this acquisition positions us well for success,” said Craig Dakauskas, senior vice president, Americas Commercial for Alliance Laundry Systems. “Bestway is well respected in its territory and has been for decades. This makes it a perfect fit for our organization.”
Bestway will become part of the Alliance Laundry Systems Distribution West Region, while maintaining its Corona office.
Founded in 1964 by husband-and-wife team Jack and Jean Higgins, Bestway quickly built a reputation for excellent customer service. The business remains family-operated today, under their sons and co-presidents Eric and Brett. Bestway has been a premiere provider of UniMac OPL solutions to a variety of industries, including hospitality, healthcare, athletics, and more. It is a full-service distributor, offering technical service and replacement parts.
“We’ve staked our reputation on UniMac equipment and Alliance Laundry Systems, and we are excited that our legacy will endure with these industry leaders,” Brett said.
“Nobody in this industry has more expertise, resources, and commitment to excellence than Alliance,” Eric added. “To say our customers will be well served is an understatement.”
This acquisition expands the Alliance Laundry Systems Distribution footprint in the West, and represents the 13th acquisition for the company within the last five years.
