EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — WASH Multifamily Laundry Systems, a laundry facilities management service company, has acquired Great Lakes Laundry, a distributor of coin-operated and commercial laundry equipment and accessories throughout the Midwest, the company reports.
According to WASH, the acquisition will expand the company’s footprint into the Carolinas and will add several new WASH branch offices throughout the Midwest.
“Our acquisition of Great Lakes Laundry is a significant step in our continued nationwide expansion. It will enable WASH to better serve our customers in the Midwest and to deliver our best-in-class services to new customers,” says Adam Coffey, president of WASH. “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, according to the company. 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,” says Naumann. “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.”
