Industrial Laundry Equipment in Johannesburg | Unicorp

Industrial Laundry Equipment Solutions in Johannesburg

Johannesburg’s thriving hospitality, mining, and commercial sectors demand reliable industrial laundry solutions that can handle South Africa’s most demanding operational environments. Unicorp has been supplying premium commercial laundry equipment to Gauteng businesses since 1985, serving everyone from Sandton’s luxury hotel groups to the industrial laundries supporting mining operations across the province.

Unicorp Johannesburg headquarters - industrial laundry and dry cleaning equipment

Serving Johannesburg’s Diverse Commercial Landscape


The city’s concentration of business activity creates unique laundry equipment requirements. Sandton’s five-star hotels and corporate accommodation facilities need high-capacity washing systems that maintain impeccable linen standards while managing the energy costs that come with Johannesburg’s intensive load shedding schedule. Our gas-powered tumble dryers and energy-efficient washer-extractors help properties from the Sandton precinct to Rosebank maintain operations during power interruptions.


OR Tambo International Airport’s surrounding hospitality corridor – from Kempton Park to Bedfordview – processes enormous volumes of linen daily. Hotels serving international travelers require industrial washing machines that combine speed, capacity, and hygiene standards. Unicorp supplies barrier washer technology and high-G-force extraction systems that reduce drying times and energy consumption, critical considerations for airport hotels operating on tight turnaround schedules.


Johannesburg’s CBD remains home to dozens of traditional dry cleaning businesses serving the city’s corporate workforce. These operations need reliable dry cleaning machines, finishing equipment, and garment care supplies. Unicorp’s BÖWE dry cleaning machines and European finishing equipment from VEIT and Barbanti give Johannesburg dry cleaners the technology edge to compete on quality while managing operating costs through efficient solvent recovery and reduced energy consumption.


Beyond hospitality and dry cleaning, Gauteng’s mining industry creates significant demand for industrial laundry equipment. Mining camps and workforce accommodation facilities across the province process thousands of kilograms of contaminated workwear daily. Unicorp supplies heavy-duty washer-extractors rated for continuous industrial use, along with the steam generators and finishing equipment needed to maintain uniform standards at scale.
