Alex Reid, leading laundry specialist and machine supplier, has announced partnerships that will bring Grandimpianti and Cocchi laundry equipment to its growing machines portfolio.
The partnership with both Northern Italy-based manufacturers means that Alex Reid joins an exclusive club of UK distributors for Grandimpianti washers and drying machines, and the exclusive UK supplier of Cocchi finishing equipment.
Founded in 1970 by Giuseppe Cocchi, Cocchi produces high quality finishing equipment which includes products like the Classic Vacuum Blowing Table, with a 5 litre built-in boiler. Luca Cocchi, Managing Director of Cocchi and son of Giuseppe, said: “We are delighted to be working with Alex Reid and welcome them as part of our family of partners. We feel they have the experience and market penetration to successfully promote our products across the UK.”
In operation since 1972, Grandimpianti manufactures a full range of equipment for the washing, drying, ironing and general treatment of fabrics. Alex Reid will carry a selection of their state of the art equipment in the near future, including the new, connected ‘Wavy’ system, which launched at Texcare Frankfurt in June 2016.
Patrizia Terribile, Managing Director at Grandimpianti, said: “Alex Reid has a long-standing reputation in the UK specialist laundry business and their knowledge and expertise will provide excellent support for our machines and equipment.”
In the UK, Alex Reid is also the exclusive supplier of Camptel and Anghinetti, and has been working with these brands for over a decade. Alex Reid General Manager, Stuart Fullerton, commented: “The Cocchi, Grandimpianti and Camptel machines give Alex Reid a unique offering in terms of machinery. By investing in these machines out customers can expect high value returns for many years to come, providing reliability and high quality finishes.”
