Quality
Control every wash and consistently present linen to your own standard.
On-Premise Laundry (OPL)
On-Premise Laundry (OPL) is the largest area of our business. Since 1968, we have worked closely with institutional customers across Australia, supporting aged care, healthcare, and hospitality providers in delivering clean linen, towels, and clothing to their residents, patients, and guests.
The aged care sector represents the largest OPL market, with most facilities processing residents' personal clothing on-site due to the complexity and sensitivity of outsourcing these items.
Running an on-premise laundry brings its own challenges, especially around staff, while offering significant advantages in quality, speed, safety, profitability and automation.
Speed
Return urgent linen to service quickly without waiting for deliveries.
Safety
Keep hygiene and disinfection standards under your direct control.
Profitability
Turn spare capacity into revenue while reducing outsourced laundry costs.
Automation
Process more linen with less manual handling and lower labour input.

Linen Workflow Audit
See where your linen flow is costing you time
Most laundries lose hours every week to backtracking, double handling and machines running half empty. The Linen Workflow Audit puts a fresh set of eyes on your operation and shows you where that time is going.
We walk the flow with your team, from soiled collection to clean storage, then talk you through what we found and what is worth changing first.
- Linen flowWe follow the linen from soiled collection through sorting, washing, drying, finishing and clean storage, and look for the backtracking and double handling that quietly adds hours to every shift.
- Machine useLoad sizes, cycle times and machine utilisation, so the machines you already own are doing the work they were bought to do.
- Staff workloadWhere handling, waiting and rework are falling on your team, and what changes would take that pressure off.
- Room to growHow much more linen the space could take, and what would need to change to get there.
The Linen Workflow: each step plays a role in delivering efficiency, compliance and quality, with collaboration at the centre.
