The Global Leader in Textile Finishing
Over six decades of German engineering precision — from Landsberg am Lech to garment care operations worldwide.
For over six decades, the VEIT Group has been the name synonymous with professional garment finishing. Based in Landsberg am Lech, Germany — a town renowned for precision manufacturing — VEIT produces the equipment that dry cleaners, hotels, uniform services, and clothing manufacturers worldwide rely on to make textiles look their absolute best.
VEIT’s core expertise lies in fabric finishing — the ironing, pressing, and smoothing of textiles — where millimetres and degrees matter. Every garment that leaves a professional laundry or dry cleaner reflects VEIT’s engineering philosophy: perfect finishes require perfect equipment.
What makes VEIT exceptional is their commitment to knowledge transfer. The company regularly hosts ironing seminars at their German headquarters where textile care professionals learn the science behind steam, pressure, and fabric behaviour. This isn’t just equipment manufacturing — it’s an educational mission.
VEIT’s cold ironing technology saves up to €1,000 in energy costs per year per ironing surface by eliminating heated table surfaces — a meaningful advantage for South African businesses facing rising energy costs.

VEIT Cold Ironing Technology
VEIT’s signature innovation — 60 years of making heated ironing surfaces unnecessary.
Cold Ironing — Energy Savings That Matter
For 60 years, VEIT’s cold ironing technology has made heated ironing surfaces unnecessary. The steam from the iron does the work — the table surface stays cool. This isn’t just an engineering curiosity; it translates to significant energy savings for every operation that adopts it.
Across a busy dry cleaning shop with multiple ironing stations, the annual savings can reach thousands of Rands in reduced electricity consumption — a meaningful advantage for South African businesses facing rising energy costs.
