Our industry
Few functions have had a greater impact on all types of communities and had a heavier influence on the development of the modern society, than mechanical washing – see for example Hans Rosling’s TED Talk, “The Washing Machine”:
Because laundering is such a fundamental part of modern societies and because there is a direct correlation between a society’s living standards, via hygienic standards and laundry quality to washing solutions, higher living standards simply mean more washing and more laundries.
The global standard of living continues to rise and the global middle class is continuously growing. The global laundry industry is a sector in continuous growth, and has been so for decades.
In the Western world around 6,700 industrial laundries and their 270,000+ employees annually wash an estimated 15 million tons of clothes. The annual variable costs of this production is estimated to be around 21.5 billion €.
On a global scale more than 23,000 industrial laundries and their 1.1 million employees process app. 34 million tons of clothes annually.
It is at these volumes and costs Laundry Logics’ solutions are targetted.
