How an accident at sea changed
the laundry business

n the mid 1950s, a young man with an engineering background and experience in laundry
equipment sales and service was hired to assess damage to the laundry equipment aboard the
Swedish American Line’s M/S Stockholm after the ship collided with the Andrea Doria, near the
Island of Nantucket. The young man’s name was Bernard Milch.

I

This was Milch’s rst introduction to the
Swedish-made Wascator front-load stainless
steel washers. He was extremely impressed
that the machines remained functional after
the laundry area, which had been lled with
sea water, was drained. He was intrigued by
the simplicity of the European design and
construction compared to products then on
the market in the USA. Milch made inquiries
to the Swedish company and eventually
purchased a Wascator washer for testing and
technical investigation. He was curious to see
if it could be adapted for the growing coin
laundry and institutional markets that he was selling to. He dismantled it, integrated a coin meter, and
then reassembled it for the purpose of testing its design, components, durability, and wash results.

Milch’s testing conrmed his initial condence in the Wascator machines. He was convinced that
commercial front-load washers could revolutionize the industry. He knew they would provide superior
wash results and use much less water and energy than the appliance top-loading washers that were
being used in laundromats at the time.

Milch obtained the sales and marketing rights for Wascator machines in North America and, since he
ate lunch at the “Automat” and liked the sound of the name, decided to use the name Wascomat for
marketing. He seized the opportunity and the industry was changed forever.

Despite the challenges in marketing a stainless
steel commercial washer against cheaper appliance
washers, Milch knew that Wascomat washers were
a much smarter investment for the store owner.
He understood that they were built for longer life,
durability, lower utility costs, and to withstand the
abuse of a commercial environment. Top-loaders were
not designed for heavy use and overloading. He also
knew customers would appreciate the larger capacity,
better wash results, and reliability of the Wascomat

front-loader. Milch understood that in a successful coin
laundry the customer supplies the labor and the coin meter acts as the cash register — and his vision
of fully automatic, self-service coin laundries equipped with commercial laundry equipment became a
reality all across the U.S. and Canada. Wascomat soon became the standard of the industry for front­loading commercial washers.
