Lapauw International – based in Kortrijk, Belgium – has been a manufacturer and supplier of commercial and industrial laundry equipment supplier globally since 1950.
The company was originally established in 1933 as a manufacturer and supplier of pumps and compressors to the world-famous Flemish textile industry. Then, in 1950, having gained a reputation for innovative engineering, they developed their first ironer for the commercial and industrial
laundry industry.
Now known as Lapauw International, the company has developed its market position due to the ongoing investment in its engineering, research and development, manufacturing, and sales and marketing functions.
The company has established a subsidiary in the UK in order to show the company’s commitment to the UK and Irish markets. The company has named Lancashire-based Laundry Engineering Services Limited (LES Ltd) to support them in after sales and service provision in the UK and Ireland. LES is led by John Haden and Paul Haden who both have an extensive knowledge of the UK and Irish laundry market. Together with their team throughout the UK, they are to offer a nationwide range of support services to the UK and Irish commercial and industrial laundry sectors.
