Start your own laundry business with these investment-worthy machines


Embarking on a business requires lots of planning and hard work. And because of the unpredictable ups and downs in the economy, it takes great courage to continuously take risks and adapt to the ever-changing market.

One sector that has successfully withstood the past two years of economic slowdown is the laundromat industry, and we can easily see why. Wherever you are, clean clothes will always be a necessity. This fact opens many opportunities for aspiring laundromat owners — not only can you start a business in any high foot traffic area, your customers would repeatedly come back for your services as well.

Apart from strategic location, having dependable machines is a key contributor to the operations and profitability of your laundry business. To better serve the growing market, Exatech Laundry Systems, the exclusive Philippine distributor of the US-trusted brand Maytag Commercial, adds a new industrial line in its product selection – the Fagor Laundry Machines. These equipment are made in Europe and are toughly built to withstand heavy usage and deliver reliable laundry solutions for entrepreneurs and customers. Here are three key benefits these machines offer that make them worthy investments:

High Energy Savings

Ensuring your business runs smoothly involves managing your cash flow. A big portion of your overhead expenses comes from electricity and gas consumption incurred while using your laundry equipment. This is why choosing machines that are highly efficient will be beneficial in the long run.

Good thing, Fagor products are designed with Inverter Technology to provide excellent energy-saving benefits. The inverter motor adjusts the drum rotation based on the laundry load – allowing the machine to operate at the lowest cost. This is also paired with Fagor’s TouchPlus Technology that comes in the form of a touch screen panel, complete with all the settings necessary to customize wash cycles depending on the user’s needs.

Versatile and Powerful Performance

Having loyal customers is necessary to keep any business afloat. But working on customer retention is not as easy as we think – it requires constant dedication to offer services that are satisfactory and value adding. Doing so gives your customers a positive experience that helps you earn their trust and confidence.
In a Do-It-Yourself laundry shop set-up, for instance, one way to ensure a favorable customer journey is by investing in machines that are easy to operate so they won’t have to spend time guessing the proper setting. As a brand that puts high importance to ergonomics, Fagor Industrial Machines are built with a user-friendly interface highlighting its29 Pre-set Programs that let you create custom wash cycles depending on the laundry load and fabric type.

Its Optimal Loading Feature allows the washer to detect whether or not clothes are properly placed inside the drum, and fixes the imbalance so it functions smoothly and efficiently. Moreover, these washers can be used for Wet Cleaning, a professional cleaning method that uses chemical-free, water-based solvents ideal for delicate fabrics. This feature lets you expand your service offerings to the customers.

Excellent and Gentle Drying Results

Aside from convenience and time-saving benefits, people usually visit laundry shops to get their clothes instantly dry and ready to wear. This is why it is vital to choose a high-performing dryer that can reliably handle large laundry loads.

Fagor Industrial Dryers are engineered with advanced features to effortlessly dry clothes without the risk of shrinking or damaging them. This is made possible with the Soft Touch Drum that is designed with small holes to drain excess water and offer gentle treatment on clothes.

For faster drying sessions, the Mixed Flow design combines axial (back to front) and radial (circular) airflow movement so that hot air is distributed evenly inside the drum. Another thing that comes in handy is the Auto Reverse Rotation feature which changes the direction of the spin to prevent tangled garments.

A laundromat is a recession-proof industry that offers steady income to aspiring entrepreneurs. And choosing the right equipment to jump-start your laundry business is a sure-fire way to achieve long-term success.

To cater various business requirements, Fagor Industrial Washers are available in 14, 18, 25, 35, and 45 kg capacities while the Industrial Dryers come in 23, 28, and 35 kg capacities. Supported by over 500 service centers nationwide, Fagor machines come with a one-year warranty on parts and service.

Exclusively distributed by Excellence Appliance Technologies Inc. (Exatech), Fagor Industrial Washers and Dryers are available in selected appliance stores nationwide.

To view the complete product line, you may drop by their showrooms located in Quezon City, Cebu, Davao, Bacolod, Iloilo, Legazpi, Palawan, Isabela, and Baguio.
