WASH Multifamily Laundry Systems, headquartered in El Segundo, Calif., has partnered with Hercules Corp., a third-generation laundry distributor, based in Hicksville, N.Y.
According to WASH, the partnership will reinforce the company’s market presence throughout the northeastern U.S. in the multi-family and college sectors, while also expanding into on-premises laundry services tailored to hotels, assisted living facilities and fitness centers.
“We are delighted that Hercules Corp. has joined forces with WASH, as we share a focus on quality, integrity and customer service,” said Jim Gimeson, CEO of WASH. “Through this partnership, we are now the nation’s leading laundry facility management provider, with more than 130 years of collective experience in the laundry industry.”
Since its founding in 1959, Hercules has grown into one of the largest family-owned laundry room providers in the country, with more than 150 employees operating out of the company’s 40,000-square-foot headquarters. Hercules provides end-to-end laundry room design, installation, management and service for the multi-housing, college/university, hospital and OPL markets in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
“We are confident that this partnership will be in our customers’ best interests – both in service and in technology capabilities,” noted Andrew May, president of Hercules Corp. “As we continue to deliver exceptional service to our customers, we believe the experience and expertise possessed by both of our teams will result in a wider array of services to our customers.”
