Maytag Commercial Laundry, stand 3602 with parent Whirlpool, is demonstrating key components of its full solution line up, offering a front-row view of equipment and business decisions that can help impact bottom lines. Included in this line up is the brand’s newest solution for the vended and on-premises laundry markets, the Maytag Multi-Load washer.
Designed to handle heavy loads of laundry turn after turn, the Maytag Multi-Load washers are available now in rigid-mount construction in 20 – 65 lb capacities, with a phased rollout of additional configurations continuing through 2019. This configure-to-order washer allows owners and operators to customise construction options to meet the needs of their business.
The recent acquisition of Fall River manufacturing facility has allowed customised production washer capabilities, with a new dedicated line for Maytag rigid and soft mount multi-load washers as well as its range of size compatible Multi-Load dryers.
Matt Conn, senior marketing and product development manager at Maytag explained: “The $35 million project Fall Rivers facility project includes upgrades to our 300,000-square-foot commercial laundry state-of-the-art facility. This will be our largest plant in the world dedicated to commercial laundry. The advanced production here supports the growth of our premium commercial laundry business, which includes some of the most innovative multi-load washers and dryers, specialty products and industrial dryers offered in the marketplace.”
Hitting the market this summer, the Maytag Commercial Laundry washer can be configured in hundreds of different ways for different coungtry needs, at no extra cost, allowing customers to choose among different water heating options, electrical connections, control interfaces, water inlets, drain systems and cabinet construction options. Conn reports that distributors ae enthused by having a Maytag branded complete solution to sell to their customers and response from both coin-op and OPL operations to the rollout of the products has been more than positive.
