OSHKOSH, Wis. — Continental Girbau has named Fowler Equipment Co., Bloomfield, N.J., and Coronet Equipment, Edmonton, Alberta, as its 2014 Vended Laundry Distributor of the Year, and 2014 Canadian Distributor of the Year, respectively, the company reports.
The awards honor distributorships for their “outstanding sales and distribution” in both the vended and on-premise laundry markets.
Fowler is among the largest on-premise, vended and multi-housing laundry equipment distributors in the Mid-Atlantic region, according to Continental.
A 65-year-old company, Fowler is a “consistently high performer and valued partner of Continental,” according to Joel Jorgensen, vice president of sales and customer services.
The full-service operation offers technical service and parts, as well as assistance with vended laundry development.
“The people at Fowler develop lifelong friendships with their customers,” says Jorgensen. “It’s no wonder that a large percentage of Fowler’s business comes from vended laundry owners developing multiple stores.”
The company also specializes in vended laundry site analysis, design, construction, training and marketing.
Coronet is a full-service distributorship handling Continental vended and on-premise laundry equipment distribution in Saskatchewan and the Northern Canadian territories.
Coronet also assists in vended laundry site selection, financing, equipment, store layout and management.
“Coronet is a continuously high performer serving a sprawling territory,” says Jorgensen. “The Rosin family works tirelessly to help out customers—developing appealing, productive and profitable vended laundries. They are a great Canadian resource and partner.”
