    With its extensive network of authorised distributors, ALS has already fostered the rapid expansion of laundromats across Malaysia. Malaysia currently estimates approximately 4,500 laundromats nationwide, with ALS brands accounting for an estimated 2,600 of these.

    The combined number of laundromats and laundry service shops utilising the brands is projected to grow significantly as the market responds to the increased lifestyle needs of urban residents, tourists, and business travellers alike. Furthermore, ALS plans to open around 200 new or replacement laundromats annually, reinforcing their commitment to continuous market growth and innovation.

    Malaysia’s laundry market is ripe for investment, driven by increasing urbanisation and lifestyle shifts favouring convenience. Modern amenities are no longer a luxury but a necessity for busy urban dwellers and commercial enterprises aiming for efficiency and quality. This creates a compelling landscape for business owners and investors who seek to capitalise on a resilient industry with long-term growth prospects.

    This presents a lucrative opportunity for new investors and partners who are looking for a sustainable and potentially high-return business model. The industry’s steady growth is supported by rising demand, and a repeat customer base offers attractive returns on investment, especially when backed by the market-leading equipment and comprehensive support system offered by ALS.

    The company is actively pursuing aggressive expansion plans across Malaysia, aiming to develop additional laundromats and establish Malaysia as a regional hub of innovation with ongoing upgrades in technology and infrastructure to meet evolving customer demands.

    Recognising the promising prospects, ALS invites business owners, entrepreneurs, and investors to join this journey of growth and modernisation. Collaborations can range from dealership partnerships to direct investments in laundromat projects, all supported by world-class products and industry expertise.
