How it started
Michael Mastorides came into commercial laundry in 1987, repairing Wascomat machines. It is an unusual way into the trade, and it still shows: the first questions asked here tend to be about the room and the machine rather than the invoice.
From there he went on to own and run laundromats himself, and later served as Vice President at one of the larger distributors in the region. Masters Laundry Equipment was established in 2018, after all three: someone who had been the technician, then the owner, then the distributor.
I founded Masters Laundry Equipment because I saw a gap in the industry. Existing distributors primarily focused on selling equipment, but many customers needed a true partner: someone who could provide expert guidance, help them build profitable laundromats, and support them long after the sale.
The short version
1987
Into the industry
Michael starts as a technician for the manufacturer, and opens his first laundromat in the same year.
2016
Out on his own
After twenty years as Vice President of a national laundry equipment distributor, he leaves to run multiple stores of his own.
2018
Masters Laundry Equipment founded
The distributorship starts, built around the gap he had spent thirty years watching.
Today
Five states, one team
Equipment, installation, service, parts, financing and project work across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.
How we work
Advice before equipment
Location studies, utility analysis and business planning come before a single machine is quoted. Plenty of projects are better off not happening, and that is worth finding out early.
The people who sell it, service it
The team that specifies and installs a machine repairs it, stocks parts for it, and answers the phone when it stops mid-cycle. Nothing is handed off to a third party after the invoice.
All makes, not just ours
Factory-trained technicians repair and stock parts for every make and model of commercial laundry equipment, not only the brands we distribute.
Local to the territory
Five states, worked every week. Local codes, local utilities and local markets are not something we look up when a project starts.
Who you will deal with
Small enough that you will speak to the same people each time, which is most of the point.
