Richard Jay Laundry wins Maytag International Top Sales Achievement Award

Phoenix, Arizona USA: In March 2008, Maytag International held its 50th Commercial Laundry Distributor's Conference in Arizona. During the conference, Richard Jay Laundry equipment received the Maytag International Top Sales Achievement Award for 2007.

This prestigious award was due to the company's professional representation of the Maytag brand within Australia and outstanding product sales teamed with positive business growth in the Australian market sector.

Maytag Commercial Laundry recently celebrated its golden anniversary with the worldwide annual commercial laundry meeting from February 28 to March 2, 2008 at The Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Maytag Commercial Laundry distributors from across the world including Australia came together to celebrate 50 years of success, reward the outstanding sales performers of 2007 and go over the company strategic plan for 2008.

Maytag is widely recognised as a leading manufacturer of commercial laundry equipment worldwide, with a large customer base across Australia. Richard Jay Laundry Equipment has been supplying Maytag Commercial machinery across Australia (except WA) for more than 20 years.

"It's a great honour to be recognised by Maytag International, this could not have been achieved without the dedication and effort of our staff, or without the ongoing support of our valued customers. This award belongs to all of you" said Richard Jay Laundry Equipment's Managing Director, Carolyn Kirk.

"The success behind this award for a family owned business is the dedication and skill of our staff and management here in Australia, which is really quite a major achievement, especially to be acknowledged on an international scale amongst other business based in other countries within the same product markets," said Carolyn.

Richard Jay Laundry Equipment has been importing and distributing commercial and industrial laundry equipment in Australia for more than 39 years. Maytag is complemented by other brands including Primus Industrial machinery, Ghidini Presses and Finishing equipment, Ecolean - the fresh alternative to dry cleaning and new laundry solution called RJ ReNew, which utilises ozone technology in the washing process.

The company has Australia's most extensive range of laundry equipment available in Australia.

Richard Jay's is very much an Australian family owned business with locations in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth with the head office located in Adelaide, South Australia.

Today the company remained wholly family owned with three of Richard Jay's daughters working in the business. The third generation have also held positions within the company.

"Richard Jay will continue to be Australia's market leader in providing laundry solutions for all types of businesses across the nation. We will achieve this by making sure we employ the best people and we will continue to offer training and opportunities to allow our team members to also grow with our business," said Carolyn.
