Together, these entities bolster SLES's already impressive capabilities.
Ryan Hubbard, owner of Universal Laundry Machinery, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating that it represents a major step forward for both organizations. The collaboration is set to enhance customer service, encouraging innovation and technical prowess, while leveraging the long-standing relationships each company has cultivated over the years. Steve Hantz, owner of MLM, reiterated this sentiment, highlighting that the unification of services will create a more robust support system for customers.
T.

Our mission is to scale up our service-related programs while maintaining the highest standards of quality in commercial laundry solutions."
This strategic partnership is not just about merging three organizations; it's about creating a single entity that embodies their shared values of excellent customer service and innovative practices. Clients of SLES can expect a smoother and more integrated experience, backed by a combined technical expertise that assures them of top-notch machine service and product solutions.
SLES has been a trusted name in the commercial laundry industry since its inception in 1976, successfully providing distribution, maintenance, leasing, and chemical solutions across several southern states, including Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. As the market evolves, partnerships like this are essential for maintaining competitive advantages and enhancing service offerings.
In terms of strategic objectives, this partnership highlights the importance of collaboration within the commercial laundry industry. As the demands for high-quality laundry solutions continue to rise, consolidating resources and expertise allows companies to adapt and innovate more effectively. The merging of experienced entities like ULM, MLM, and SLES signals a proactive approach towards future growth, ensuring that customers receive the most efficient and tailored solutions available.
As SLES embarks on this new chapter, it promises to streamline its service offerings, making it easier for clients to access first-rate laundry solutions uniformly across regions. This approach not only enhances the quality of service provided but also reaffirms SLES’s position as the premier partner for commercial laundry solutions in North America.
