Wow, that was an excellent find, Malcolm! I loved the bit where they all but admitted that Chinese washers couldn't stand up to the hard use of vended multi-housing or industrial on-premises laundry.

Having recently seen both SQ's front- and top-loading models at a local dealer, I understand why so many at AW rave about the build-quality. They make my Frigidaire look like a Tinker-Toy.

When I was in Shanghai and other parts of China last year I was looking for any signs of a coin operated laundromat just to do my own laundry as a visitor. I found none and only service laundries. I knew that it would be a great business opportunity for a growing Chinese middle class. Glad Speed Queen has the foresight to expand in China. Maybe also in Hong Kong.

Are as common as European machines such as, Wascomat(Sweden) and Continental/Girbau(Spain) Alliance builds multiple lines of both Coin-Op and OPL commercial washer-extractors,TL washers, HE FL washers and drying tumblers all around the world. Some common names include Speed Queen, Hubesch, UniMac, UniWash, and IPSO.

Good Video thanks for posting, it is cooperation like that will keep the world safe for the next generations.

 

And it is a two way street, if you look inside the control panel of your new SQ washer you will find Chinese made switches already.

That is a cool smart move for Alliance! Love the Owner saying he couldnt find the quality in China and the woman saying the apartment block looks a lot nicer with no laundry blowing in the breeze!!
