Alliance Laundry Systems (ALS), the world’s leading commercial laundry equipment manufacturer, has officially launched Stax-X in Malaysia — a compact stacked washer-dryer solution designed for SMEs, first-time investors, and micro-entrepreneurs eager to enter the fast-growing self-service laundry market.
The new Stax-X system combines full commercial-grade performance with a space-saving vertical design, making it ideal for operators looking to maximise returns from smaller retail footprints.
“Malaysia has a strong and growing SME sector, and the self-service laundry space continues to attract first-time investors,” said Eddie Tay, Senior Sales Director, APAC, Alliance Laundry Systems. “Stax-X is our way of supporting that growth, offering quality, performance, and simplicity in one stack.”
Empowering Malaysia’s SME Entrepreneurs
Small and medium-sized enterprises are the backbone of Malaysia’s economy, accounting for 97.2% of business establishments and nearly 48% of total employment, according to the World Bank and Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM).
As more Malaysians seek sustainable, low-overhead business models, laundromats are becoming a popular choice for entrepreneurs due to their low staffing needs, stable demand, and recurring income.
“With real estate costs rising, store owners need every square foot to count,” added Kevin Lam, Senior Area Sales Manager, Alliance Laundry Systems. “Stax-X helps entrepreneurs maximise returns by delivering maximum revenue per square foot without compromising on quality or user experience.”
Designed for Efficiency and Ease
The Stax-X series is available in 13kg and 22kg capacities, both engineered for durability, high-usage environments, and reduced maintenance downtime.
Key design highlights include:
- Premium, modern appearance with a sleek, flush-mounted soap dispenser.
- Easy accessibility via minimised front fasteners for quick servicing.
- User convenience — no need to transfer laundry loads between machines.
- Space-optimised design for maximum ROI in smaller laundromat formats.
These innovations cater to the needs of entrepreneurs running compact-format laundromats and micro-franchises in urban and suburban locations alike.
Supporting Malaysia’s Expanding Laundry Network
Alliance Laundry Systems, through its network of Malaysian partners, currently supports over 2,600 laundromats nationwide. The launch of Stax-X reinforces the company’s commitment to expanding access to quality laundry equipment across underserved districts and to empowering second-income earners and micro-franchise operators.
The Stax-X SSN30 and SSN50 models are now available through authorised distributors, with regional pricing aligned to other Southeast Asian markets.
