Coin-O-Matic<\/a> parent company \u2013 Harry Miller Companies<\/a>, located in Alsip, Ill. \u2013 is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so grateful that my grandfather, uncle and dad decided to focus the family business on home and commercial laundry equipment over the last century,\u201d said Harry Miller Companies President Matt Miller, who represents the third generation of the company. \u201cClean laundry never goes out of style, and I\u2019m proud to have the finest staff to give our clients the best customer service in the marketplace. One hundred years is a long time, and some mornings I have to pinch myself knowing that we\u2019ve positioned the Harry Miller family of companies ahead of market trends in order to offer our clients the finest laundry products and services.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 1921, Harry Miller established the family business by selling washers and dryers door-to-door from the back of his Ford Model T pickup truck throughout Chicago\u2019s Englewood neighborhood and the surrounding communities. Surviving the Great Depression and World War II by making his own replacement parts and installing coin meters on wringer washers, Miller is recognized as one of the first creators of coin-operated laundry equipment.<\/p>\n

In the late 1950s, Miller was joined in the business by his sons, Bill and Bob. The brothers focused their efforts on the period\u2019s exploding coin-operated laundry equipment market, thus founding Coin-O-Matic Equipment Inc.<\/p>\n

And, today, Harry Miller Companies is led by Harry\u2019s grandson, Matt.<\/p>\n

To chronicle this significant milestone, Harry Miller Companies underwent a rebranding process earlier this year, to better align the business with the changing needs and expectations of its customers. New logos, signage and marketing materials were all recently unveiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor more than 100 years, customers have found that we listen well to understand their needs, work hard to exceed expectations, and are strongly committed to their long-term success,\u201d Matt Miller said.<\/p>\n

Coin-O-Matic is one of the oldest commercial laundry equipment dealers in the United States \u2013 serving laundromat, on-premises laundry and multi-housing laundry professionals throughout Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
