LG Electronics to Supply Commercial Laundry Appliances to Germany, Accelerating Its Global B2B Push

[Financial News] LG Electronics is stepping up its push into the global business-to-business (B2B) market, including Europe, with large-capacity commercial laundry appliances and AI-based management solutions. It is expanding product supplies to local companies in Germany while broadening its business by strengthening cooperation with major distributors in North America and Asia. 
LG Electronics said on the 25th that it will supply its large-capacity commercial laundry appliances, LG Professional, to Schilling, a German commercial laundry solutions company, next month. Schilling specializes in distributing and installing laundry equipment and solutions for laundries, laundromats and other businesses across Germany. 
LG Professional improves washing and drying efficiency with AI Core-Tech, which combines AI with core component technologies. AI analyzes the weight of laundry to optimize water use and drying conditions, while high-speed spin extraction reduces residual moisture and shortens drying time. Gyro sensors automatically correct imbalances inside the drum, reducing vibration, noise and component wear.
LG Electronics’ European commercial washing machine sales rose by about 20% year over year from January to September this year, maintaining their growth trend. Germany is a key hub in Europe’s commercial laundry market, with concentrated demand from the hotel, healthcare and industrial sectors, and the company expects the supply deal to give further momentum to its local business expansion.
LG Electronics is also stepping up local marketing to secure B2B customers in Europe. The company showcased its large-capacity commercial laundry appliances and management solutions at Expo Detergo International 2026, Europe’s largest laundry trade fair, which opened in Milan, Italy, on the 23rd. 
At the exhibition, LG Electronics set up a booth about 90 square meters in size—more than twice as large as before—and unveiled laundry appliances in a range of capacities, from the 10-kg class up to 30 kg. It also introduced products that use water and dedicated detergents to care for delicate garments such as wool and silk. 
LG Electronics also presented Laundry Crew, a dedicated management solution designed to improve store operations. The service supports remote control, error notifications and smart diagnostics. LG Electronics also provides an application programming interface (API) to help client companies build their own management systems. 
LG Electronics is also expanding its business in North America and Asia. In North America, it more than doubled this year’s supply volume to CSC ServiceWorks, the region’s No. 1 laundry solutions company, compared with the previous year. Revenue from commercial laundry appliances in North America has grown at an annual average rate of 41% over the past three years. The company is also expanding its cooperation with local distributors in Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam. 
Son Chang-woo, head of the Living Solutions Business Division at LG Electronics’ HS Business Division, said, “We will grow rapidly in the global B2B laundry market by leading with high-efficiency commercial laundry appliances in a range of capacities and differentiated management solutions.”
