The founder
Menashe Mizrachi started this in 1985. His technical knowledge still leads it.
Forty years in the same trade, from premises in Wynberg, Sandton. The people who quote a machine are the people who install it, and the people who answer the phone when it stops.
That is also why the shelves are full. Holding stock costs money; explaining a three-week import wait to a dry cleaner you have supplied for twenty years costs more.
Some of the largest dry cleaners and laundry factories in South Africa are supplied from this counter.
“We built this business on trust, integrity and service. Many of our customers have been with us since the beginning.”
