Alliance Laundry Holdings makes commercial washing machines and dryers. Its products are sold under brands like Speed Queen, UniMac, and Huebsch, and they are used in laundromats, apartment buildings, hotels, and hospitals. The company is one of the largest manufacturers of commercial laundry equipment in the world.

Alliance makes money by selling laundry machines to businesses and property owners, and it also offers financing and service programs. It operates mainly in North America but sells equipment in markets around the world. Its competitive edge comes from its well-known brands, a large installed base of machines, and strong relationships with distributors and commercial customers. The main risk the company faces is that rising interest rates or a slowdown in construction and real estate activity could reduce demand for new laundry equipment installations.
