BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — Laundry equipment manufacturer Yamamoto North America is strengthening its U.S. distribution network through two recent partnerships aimed at improving equipment access and localized support for laundry operators in key regions.
Midwest Laundries, based in Chicago, is now Yamamoto’s primary distributor for the greater Chicagoland area and Southern Wisconsin. Commercial Laundry Systems of the Rockies, based in Johnstown, Colorado, is Yamamoto’s authorized distributor across Colorado, Montana and Wyoming.
Midwest Laundries will represent Yamamoto’s full equipment lineup, including washer-extractors, combination units, dryer systems and its forthcoming vended laundry offerings.
“Their commitment to customer service and their approach to growth mirror our own principles,” Yamamoto North America President Joe Fleming says of Midwest Laundries. “Together, we are focused on delivering responsive support, readily available equipment, and a seamless experience for customers throughout the region.”
“Yamamoto’s product portfolio brings exceptional quality and innovation to the market,” says Jim Schultz, Midwest Laundries president. “We look forward to building this partnership and providing customers in our region with comprehensive support and dependable equipment solutions for years to come.”
Commercial Laundry Systems of the Rockies will provide full-service support, including sales, service and parts, across the Rocky Mountain region.
The partnership strengthens Yamamoto’s presence in the region and enhances its ability to support customers across key industries, including commercial and industrial laundry operations. Commercial Laundry Systems brings experience in both laundromat development and on-premise laundry design.
“(Pete Valconesi’s) experience across a variety of market segments is second to none in the region, and his team’s relentless focus on customer experience and satisfaction closely aligns with our own values,” Fleming says. “With the recent addition of seasoned Yamamoto representative Jon Pell — formerly with National Laundry Equipment in Nashville, Tennessee — I’m confident this partnership will be highly beneficial for both organizations.”
