Commercial laundry equipment for Cape Town
Cape Town's hospitality trade sets the standard for linen presentation in South Africa, and the equipment that holds that standard through a full season is what we supply.
Universe Corp has supplied Western Cape hotels, guesthouses and dry cleaners for forty years.
A tourism season that runs most of the year means equipment here does not get a quiet period to break down in, which is worth allowing for when sizing it.

Why Cape Town 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
- Do you actually service the Western Cape, or just sell into it?
- Both. Scheduled freight from Johannesburg carries the equipment, and our own technicians travel for installation, commissioning and operator training.
- How do I get a part in Cape Town?
- Parts dispatch from Wynberg on the same routes the equipment travelled. Holding a spare of the wear items is still worth it — a cover or a filter disc is cheap next to a day of downtime.
- What do most Cape Town enquiries turn out to be?
- Hospitality. The Western Cape trade is hotel and guest-house led, which usually means on-premise laundry sized to room count rather than a commercial plant.
