When was your company established?

More than 100 years ago.

How many people do you employ?

More than 2500 worldwide.

What is your current turnover?

Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 stood at US $726.3 million.

What is your company’s vision?

Alliance Laundry Systems is more than simply a manufacturer; it is also passionate about delivering unrivaled solutions to its customers. While it continues to innovate and research, develop and invest in new technologies and manufacturing processes, it also invests in customer service, bringing its knowledge and experience to the widest possible audience.

The company never stands still; whether creating new financing or laundry design services, developing a new training academy (the Alliance Laundry Systems University - ALSU), or launching a best-in-class customer service programme known as Customer One.

What are your core products for the hospitality sector?

UniMac, a flagship brand of Alliance Laundry Systems, is the acknowledged expert in on-premise laundry (OPL) solutions, matching a comprehensive range of reliable, durable and proven products and technologies with a design, fulfilment and after-sales service and maintenance operation that is second to none. UniMac is the preferred choice for OPL professionals worldwide.

What is your newest product/latest news?

Our latest product is the UniMac range of hard-mounted washer extractors that deliver higher productivity and control for the busiest laundry environments. The new generation of washer extractors re-defines the ‘rigid’ category, delivering the same — if not better — wash performance as soft-mounted machines, but with reduced maintenance, utility and operational costs and maximum productivity.

Designed for the highest volume users and capable of running round the clock, the stainless steel constructions supports a machine capable of achieving a 400 G-Force extraction to allow the maximum amount of water to be removed in the fastest possible time to further accelerate the washing cycle.

This is complemented by a patented, feature-rich programme and monitoring technology that puts operators in total control of their OPL facility. The machines have several features that help to reduce water and energy consumption, and the duration of every wash cycle.

They feature fast-fill valves and drains to allow in clean water, and let the dirty water escape in the shortest possible time. An auto leak detection feature for both fill and drain functions significantly reduces water loss due to valve blockages or failures.

Why does my hotel need this product?

Beyond its performance and environmental characteristics, perhaps its greatest advantage is the operational control that it delivers.

A patented operational monitoring solution, UniLinc, allows up to 41 customisable wash cycles enabling the managers to adjust programmes and suit specific linen treatment, doing away with the ‘one size fits all’ programme.

Linen life can therefore be extended, and only the appropriate levels of water, chemicals and energy, consumed. The technology delivers the additional benefit of automatic service reminders to help reduce downtime for the busiest laundry environments.

As with all UniMac technology, its systems come with a five-year warranty.
