Over 50 years of spotless business
1973: birth and growth
IPSO International started in 1973 in a small city called Wevelgem, Belgium. Initially, the production was focused on commercial washer-extractors and tumble dryers.
1992: Broaden horizons
Year after year, the company has grown and proven to be the strongest in commercial and industrial washers and tumble dryers. After 19 years, in 1992, the Belgian company went overseas to the USA. A few years later, a new production facility opened its doors, in Panama City, Panama.
2005-2006:World No.1 in Commercial Laundry
In 2005 -2006 the HC soft mount and WF hard mount washer range was launched. In that same period, we opened our offices in Spain and Norway.
In 2006 IPSO was acquired by Alliance Laundry Systems and became part of the world’s number-one in commercial laundry equipment.
2011: Getting to the top of innovation
In 2011 the Cygnus control platform was released, and later the OPT (Overdry Prevention Technology) and OPTimum Control for Tumble dryers was created.
2015: Your smartest partner
We introduced the slogan “The smart choice for laundry” and 3 years later we changed it to “Your Smart Laundry Partner”.
2018: Redesigning our products
In 2018, we introduced the midsize soft mount and barrier washer-extractors, a new range of DR tumble dryers and new ironers. One year later the small softmount range got redesigned.
2020: Introducing the touch control
The introduction of the touch control in 2020, with the IPSO Connect management dashboard, was the largest release of the past years.
The connectivity on the range and the user-friendliness of the new Evolis control is a revolution for operators and laundromat visitors.
