A Legacy of Innovation.
A Future of Care.

For 50 years, our family-run team has quietly shaped the future of laundry in New Zealand – combining iconic global brands with local expertise, long-term service, and an eco-minded approach built to last.

History

Originally Electrolux Laundry Services New Zealand, we are proud to introduce our new trading name: Econic Laundry Solutions. This update marks an exciting new chapter in our 25-year journey as a privately owned, second-generation New Zealand business.

Our new name reflects a continued commitment to innovation, efficiency, and sustainability, while proudly honouring the heritage we share with Electrolux Professional. As Econic Laundry Solutions, we are sharpening our focus on delivering economic, iconic, and industry-leading commercial laundry solutions. Our ECO-centric philosophy guides every decision, and our 360-degree approach to laundry sets us apart as the partner of choice for customers seeking long-term, future-ready solutions.

While our name and visual identity have evolved, our core values remain unchanged. We continue to provide durable, reliable, and high-performance laundry systems, backed by the same service-first philosophy that has earned the trust of customers across New Zealand. With many of our machines designed to last up to 30,000 cycles—the equivalent of 8 cycles a day for 10 years—our emphasis on lifecycle support and long-term value is central to our offering.

By retaining ELS in our name, we preserve our legacy and ensure continuity for our customers, partners, and team—while looking confidently toward the future with a renewed commitment to excellence in commercial laundry solutions.

Approach

Team

With the size of New Zealand, we are naturally a small in numbers, however a large team by experience & attitude, with a family approach to our customers. This has lead to the vast majority of business coming from repeat customers & referrals.

Brands

We proudly represent a portfolio of industry-leading brands that meet the full spectrum of laundry needs — from compact solutions for apartment buildings to fully automated systems capable of processing over one tonne of linen per hour. Thanks to our strong reputation and history in the New Zealand market, we’ve secured exclusive distribution rights for each of the global brands we import, ensuring best-in-class equipment for every commercial laundry application.

As the world’s largest manufacturer of domestic laundry equipment, LG — headquartered in South Korea — has significantly expanded its commercial laundry division since 2010. Leveraging their global economies of scale, LG delivers a unique, high-performance solution particularly suited to the multihousing sector. Their compact, stacked washer-dryer combinations (10–15 kg capacity) are designed to maximise efficiency in limited spaces, making them a leading choice for apartment buildings and shared facilities.

Founded in Sweden in 1902, Electrolux Professional is a global leader in both on-premise laundries and laundromats.

Their comprehensive range spans from 8 to 110 kg capacity, delivering scalable, sustainable, and future-focused solutions for diverse industry needs.
