Exciting changes are afoot at Yamamoto North America! In recent weeks, the Yamamoto NA office has packed our bags and boxes and moved… a few blocks down. While we aren’t moving offices very far, we’re renovating and expanding our current facility and offices. After completing our recent renovations, we hope to better organize, expand and refine our operations for employees, clients, and vendors alike. See what all the fuss is about at Yamamoto NA!

Your local community has everything you need: a little grocery store on the corner, some quaint family restaurants for dining, a nearby gym, etc. The only thing missing: a laundromat! While it’s true that a significant percentage of households in the U.S., about 80%, possess the means for washing laundry at home, there’s still a portion of homeowners without such capabilities. That being said, you can fill a crucial role for your community by introducing a local laundromat. And if you are considering a venture into the linen cleaning industry, why not have the best, most affordable equipment through Yamamoto North America?

Technology has come an impossibly long way in just a short time. Just over 100 years ago, we were producing our first consumer vehicles; now, in 2024, vehicles can drive themselves! As for laundry machines and the linen cleaning industry, technology has developed in much of the same fashion, focusing on automation. The possibilities for new linen-cleaning machinery are endless with the development of robotics and the recent leaps and bounds made in AI programming. At Yamamoto, we strive to be at the forefront of innovation in washer tech. While our machines already assist operators with the essential functions of laundry washing, there's more in store for the future of Yamamoto equipment.

2023 was another productive and successful year for laundry operators and linen cleaning services. While the outset of the year looked grim, with the state of the economy still recovering from a “COVID-induced” hangover and inflation on the rise, laundry operators rated their performance in 2023 as above average, per a survey conducted by American Laundry News.
