Dry cleaning and finishing equipment for South Africa
Forty years equipping South African dry cleaners, laundries, hotels, hospitals and garment factories, from a warehouse in Wynberg with the parts on the shelf.
Universe Corp is South Africa's specialist supplier of dry cleaning, pressing and garment finishing equipment, trading since 1985 and still led by its founder.
We are the authorised distributor for ten manufacturers, and we hold their parts in Wynberg rather than ordering them from Europe when a machine stops. For a plant losing trade every hour it is down, that is the part of the offer that matters.

Why South Africa 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.
Equipping a plant in South Africa?
Ring the office or send an enquiry. Sizing a machine properly is a conversation about floor space, steam supply and daily volume, not a catalogue number.
Before you ask
- Which provinces do you cover?
- All nine. Gauteng is served directly from Wynberg; the Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and the rest of the country by scheduled freight with our own technicians travelling to site.
- How does heavy machinery get delivered?
- On specialised transport, with the offloading arranged as part of the quote rather than left as your problem on the day.
- Do you carry parts, or order them in?
- Spares are held in Wynberg. That is the difference between a machine that stops for a day and one that stops until Europe ships.
