Deal Expands WASH’s Territory, Adds New Midwest Branch Offices
WASH Multifamily Laundry Systems, headquartered in El Segundo, Calif., has acquired Great Lakes Laundry, a distributor of commercial and vended laundry equipment and accessories throughout the Midwest.
This acquisition expands WASH’s footprint into two new states, North Carolina and South Carolina. In addition, the deal adds several new WASH branch offices throughout the Midwest.
“Our acquisition of Great Lakes Laundry is a significant step in our continued nationwide expansion,” said WASH President Adam Coffey. “It will enable WASH to better serve our customers in the Midwest and to deliver our best-in-class services to new customers. We are delighted that Great Lakes President Dan Naumann will be joining WASH to facilitate this transition and to oversee the growth of our commercial operations in the United States.”
WASH will acquire all divisions of the Great Lakes Laundry business, including its route laundry and distributorship. In 2012, WASH partnered with the multi-family route division of Great Lakes Commercial Laundry Sales to expand its services to customers in the Midwest region.
“WASH has been a valued partner for the past three years and shares our high standards for customer service,” Naumann commented. “I’m confident that our customers will benefit from this transition and will continue to receive the same top-quality service and equipment that they have come to expect.”
