Fowler Laundry Solutions
Fowler Laundry Solutions installs, leases, and services commercial laundry equipment. Its customers are multifamily housing, property management companies, condo associations and co-op boards, colleges and universities, private off-campus student housing, healthcare and senior living, correctional facilities, gyms, hotels, and mobile home parks, campgrounds, and marinas.
For property owners the offer is turnkey: Fowler says its solutions require no upfront investment, and it handles installation, 24-hour service response, and equipment replacement. It supplies cashless, app-connected payment systems so residents and guests can pay by mobile app, tap-to-pay, or laundry card, with real-time tracking for the operator. It also builds and equips laundromats and supplies on-premises and industrial laundry systems for facilities that wash in house.
Fowler has been family-owned since its founding in 1952 and is now run by the third generation. It is headquartered at 565 Rahway Avenue in Union, New Jersey, with branch offices and satellite locations in Massachusetts, Maryland, and Puerto Rico, and says it has customers on both coasts as well as in Texas, Bermuda, and the Caribbean. The company reports 70 employees and more than 1,000 laundromats built and installed. It has distributed LG commercial laundry since 2013, describes itself as LG's largest US distributor and the exclusive distributor of LG machines in the New York area, and also carries a line of Girbau products.
Lease terms, revenue splits, and equipment pricing are not published; ask for the contract length and the service response commitment in writing.
