Alliance Laundry Systems Distribution Expands West Region with Acquisition

RIPON, Wis., Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Alliance Laundry Systems, the global leader in commercial laundry equipment, acquired the distribution assets of Bestway Laundry Solutions. Corona, Calif.-based Bestway is a leading distributor of UniMac on-premises laundry equipment.

"California is an area that we see excellent potential for growth, and this acquisition positions us well for success," said 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 premiere 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 said. "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," Eric added.
