RIPON, Wis. — Alliance Laundry Systems, a global provider of commercial laundry equipment, reports it has acquired the distribution assets of Bestway Laundry Solutions.
Corona, California-based Bestway is a leading distributor of UniMac on-premises laundry (OPL) equipment.
“California is an area that we see excellent potential for growth, and this acquisition positions us well for success,” says Craig Dakauskas, senior vice president, Americas Commercial, Alliance Laundry Systems.
“Bestway is well respected in their territory and has been for decades. This makes them a perfect fit for our organization.”
Bestway will become part of the Alliance Laundry Systems Distribution West Region while maintaining its Corona office.
Founded in 1964 by the husband-and-wife team Jack and Jean Higgins, Bestway quickly built a reputation for excellent customer service. The business remains family-operated today under their sons and co-presidents Eric and Brett.
Bestway has been a premier provider of UniMac on-premises laundry solutions to a variety of industries, including hospitality, healthcare, athletics and more. They are a full-service distributor, offering technical service and replacement parts.
“We staked our reputation on UniMac equipment and Alliance Laundry Systems, and we are excited that our legacy will endure with these industry leaders,” Brett says.
Eric adds, “Nobody in this industry has more expertise, resources and commitment to excellence than Alliance. To say our customers will be well served is an understatement.”
This latest acquisition not only expands the Alliance Laundry Systems Distribution footprint in the West but represents the 13th in five years for the company.
