Primus was founded in 1911 as a manufacturer of household washing and dishwashing machines in Belgium. Only in 1970 did the company's focus shift to commercial laundry equipment. Primus is today one of the leading commercial laundry machine manufacturers in Europe with a strong presence in North America, Asia and the Middle East. The Group produces commercial laundry machines for, among others, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, nursing homes, Laundromats, multi-housing launderettes and commercial laundries. Primus covers the whole spectrum of laundry equipment including high-spinning freestanding washers, rigid mounted washers, hygienic barrier washers, tumble-dryers and ironers. Through its network of distributors, the Group equips three types of end-users: coin operated laundry (COIN), on-premise laundry (OPL) and commercial laundry. Primus also sells to industrial laundries, larger on-premise laundries and dry-cleaners.
