Commercial laundry equipment for Durban and KwaZulu-Natal
Beachfront hospitality, the port and heavy industry in one metro, and salt air on all of it. Durban is where specifying for the environment stops being optional.
Universe Corp has supplied KwaZulu-Natal hotels, laundries and dry cleaners for four decades.
Salt air shortens the life of equipment that was not specified for it. It is cheaper to allow for that once, at the quote, than to keep replacing components that were never meant to sit near the sea.

Delivery and service
KwaZulu-Natal is served by scheduled freight from Johannesburg, with our technicians travelling for installation and commissioning. Durban is also the port most of our imported equipment lands at, so consignments can sometimes be routed to a KZN customer without going via Gauteng first.
Why Durban buys from Wynberg
Forty years in one trade
Universe Corp has sold nothing but dry cleaning, laundry and garment finishing equipment since 1985. The advice comes from having installed the machine before.
Authorised, not parallel
We are the authorised distributor for ten manufacturers, so the warranty is real and the parts are genuine.
Parts held in Wynberg
Spares are on the shelf rather than ordered from Europe when a machine stops.
Our own technicians
Installation, commissioning and operator training are done by people we employ.

Before you ask
- Does equipment for KwaZulu-Natal have to come via Johannesburg?
- Not always. Durban is the port most of our imported equipment lands at, so a consignment can sometimes be routed straight to a KZN customer without going up to Gauteng and back down.
- Who installs and commissions in KZN?
- Our technicians travel for it. Scheduled freight from Johannesburg covers the machine; the commissioning and operator training are done by people we employ.
- Does the coastal climate change what I should buy?
- It changes what you should ask about. Humidity affects drying times and corrosion on anything not specified for it. Tell us where the plant room is and we will factor it into the sizing.
