Leading distributor of premium laundry machines, Technolux, has recently introduced its entrepreneurship program for aspiring entrepreneurs who want to go into the laundry business.
Eugene Corpus, sales supervisor for consumables and laundry of Technolux, said the self-service, coin-operated laundry business has a great potential, especially these days as demand for self-service, coin-operated laundry machines continues to rise over time owing to different factors, foremost of which is the added convenience sought after by busy students, professionals and families to employ a more time- and cost-efficient way of doing their laundry.
With the innovations through the years, Corpus said, these laundry equipment for have undergone major improvements and have become user-friendly.
Corpus said one of the most important components of a successful laundry business primarily depends on the machines’ speed, capacity and durability.
For sure, an operator would like his customers to be able to do their laundry in a quick and efficient manner, which only reliable washers and dryers can guarantee, he stressed during the recently concluded Laundry Expo held at the SMX complex in Pasay City.
The Technolux business package offers premium equipment carrying the IPSO and Primus names that belong to Alliance Laundry Systems Network, the global leader in commercial laundry. These equipment are smartly designed and equipped with the latest technology to boost efficiency and reduce water, energy and detergent costs.
Technolux offers different ways to get into the coin-operated laundry enterprise. Clients can simply purchase individual IPSO/Primus washers and dryers so they can start their own business by themselves.
Moreover, Corpus said, interested parties can choose from the following packages:
Business Package No. 1 (Start-Up) is ideal for new entrepreneurs wanting to launch their first coin-operated laundry business within a 30-square meter (sq m) space. This includes five units of stackable IPSO/Primus washer and dryer, 250 tokens, 10 laundry baskets, a table for folding clothes and another table/counter for staff, plus six units of monobloc chairs for the customers.
Package No. 2 (Established) clients will get 10 units of IPSO/Primus stackable washer and dryer, 500 tokens, 20 laundry baskets, three rectangular tables, one table/counter for staff, plus 12 units of monobloc chairs enough for a 50 sq m space.

Technolux also regularly conducts training and seminars with topics, such as operating machines, simple troubleshooting, and the ins and outs of the laundry business for interested entrepreneurs.
“What sets Technolux apart from other distributors is that clients are assured of the best heavy duty commercial washing machines and dryers complete with a two-year comprehensive warranty and a preventive maintenance service free for one year.

Corpus said clients of Technolux could expect comprehensive support, hauling and delivery of machines and installation and commissioning. Further, he said, Technolux would walk the extra mile by inspecting the sites, advising clients on design and layout of the space, supervising construction and staff training.
