Samsung Introduces Smart Wash Business Solutions for Commercial Laundry Operators in PH
MANILA, Philippines — Samsung Electronics Philippines on March 25 rolled out a new lineup of commercial laundry solutions aimed at supporting the growth of the country’s expanding laundry service industry, positioning technology as a key enabler for more efficient and scalable operations.
The company formally launched its Commercial Laundry Washer and Dryer under the Samsung Smart Wash Business Solutions banner during an industry event held at the SMX Convention Center. The launch brought together laundry business owners, industry stakeholders, and prospective entrepreneurs to discuss opportunities in a sector seeing steady demand amid urbanization and shifting consumer lifestyles.
Samsung said the new offering is designed to help operators build modern, technology-driven laundry businesses by improving efficiency, reliability, and long-term sustainability.
Strategic Partnership Enables End-to-End Support
Central to the rollout is Samsung’s strategic partnership with CYA Industries Inc., its authorized distributor for commercial laundry systems in the Philippines. Through the collaboration, the companies aim to provide end-to-end support for entrepreneurs planning to enter or expand within the commercial laundry space.
The partnership covers multiple stages of business development, including concept planning, financing assistance, equipment installation, and supply chain support. Samsung said the approach is intended to reduce barriers to entry and simplify the process of setting up and scaling laundry operations.
Innovation Built Around Everyday Business Needs
In his opening remarks, Roman Han, president of Samsung Electronics Philippines, underscored the company’s broader focus on developing technology that enhances both personal and professional environments.
“Our innovations’ core mission is to enhance daily life for everyone, whether at home or at work. We achieve this by designing technology that caters to the needs of the market while prioritizing customer experience and durability,” Han said.
Han also highlighted the role of partnerships in extending Samsung’s reach into emerging business segments, particularly those driven by changing urban lifestyles.
Smart Connectivity for Operational Efficiency
Samsung executives said the commercial laundry systems are built to help operators maintain reliability while improving overall performance.
Jayson Angeles, strategic business head for home appliances, noted that the platform is integrated with Samsung SmartThings, allowing operators to remotely monitor and manage their machines.
Through smart connectivity, users can track machine status in real time, manage operations remotely, and analyze performance data—features aimed at minimizing downtime and supporting better business decisions.
Designed for Durability and Sustainable Operations
Samsung said its Commercial Laundry Washer and Dryer are engineered to deliver consistent cleaning results while managing water and energy use. The machines incorporate durable components, smart diagnostics for early issue detection, and optimized resource consumption.
These features, Samsung noted, are intended to support longer equipment lifespan, reduced maintenance interruptions, and more sustainable operations—key considerations for commercial users managing multiple machines.
Expanding Opportunities for Entrepreneurs
For local partner CYA Industries, the collaboration is seen as a way to empower more Filipinos to participate in the growing laundry business sector.
Franklin Chan, president of CYA Industries Inc., said the partnership enables them to provide comprehensive support to aspiring entrepreneurs.
“With our 60 years of experience and our partnership with Samsung, we are here to offer you a full circle of solutions, from concept to financing and supply chain support,” Chan said.
Chan added that the integrated approach is designed to make it easier for new operators to start and manage laundry businesses with greater confidence.
Supporting Industry Growth
The launch comes as the Philippine commercial laundry industry continues to expand, driven by increasing urban density, demand for convenience services, and the growth of small and medium enterprises.
With its Smart Wash Business Solutions, Samsung positions itself beyond being an equipment supplier, framing its role as a technology partner and business enabler for operators looking to modernize and scale their laundry services.
