LG Electronics is accelerating its entry into the European business-to-business (B2B) washing machine market by supplying large-capacity commercial washers to a German company. LG Electronics announced on the 25th that it will supply “LG Professional,” a large-capacity commercial laundry appliance, to Schilling, a German commercial laundry solution company, next month.
Schilling supplies laundry equipment to laundries and coin-operated laundromats across Germany. An LG Electronics official said, “This supply deal is highly significant in that Germany is a core market in the European commercial laundry sector, where demand for hotel, medical, and industrial laundry is concentrated.” LG Electronics’ sales of commercial washing machines in Europe grew by around 20% year-on-year in the January–September period this year, continuing an upward trend.
The LG Professional products that LG is supplying this time are designed to wash and dry large loads of laundry while improving energy efficiency. Artificial intelligence (AI) analyzes the weight of the laundry to adjust water usage and optimize drying conditions. On the 23rd (local time), LG Electronics also participated in “Expo Detergo International 2026,” Europe’s largest laundry trade fair held in Milan, Italy, where it showcased high-efficiency, large-capacity commercial washing machines. Son Chang-woo, head of the Living Solution Business Division at LG Electronics (executive director), said, “By leveraging high-efficiency commercial washing machines in various capacities and differentiated management solutions, the company will achieve rapid growth in the global B2B laundry market.”
