Alliance Laundry Systems, the global leader in commercial laundry equipment, acquired the distribution assets of Metropolitan Laundry Machinery Sales, South Richmond, New York.
“As a family-owned business from its start in 1968, Metropolitan has not wavered in its commitment to always doing the right thing for the customer,” said Mike Hand, vice president, North America Commercial Central and East, Alliance Laundry Systems. “We are honored to carry on the legacy created by the Katzman family.”
Under the new ownership, the South Richmond Hill (Queens) location will remain open and be renamed Alliance Laundry Systems Distribution-New York Metro Office.
Opened in 1968 by Howard Katzman, Metropolitan is a laundry equipment distributor serving laundromats, on-premises laundries, and multi-housing customers in the greater New York area. Howard’s son, Marc, leads the company which serves customers with premium Alliance brands Speed Queen, UniMac, and Huebsch.
