Alliance Laundry Systems (ALS), the world’s leading provider of commercial laundry equipment, has introduced Stax-X, a high-efficiency stacked washer-dryer designed for SMEs, first-time investors, and space-limited laundry businesses in Malaysia. The new model delivers full commercial performance, premium design, and optimized ROI for the country’s growing self-service laundry sector.
MALAYSIA, 13 OCTOBER 2025 – Alliance Laundry Systems (ALS), the global leader in commercial laundry equipment, has announced the Malaysian launch of Stax-X, a next-generation stacked washer-dryer built for small-space efficiency and profitability. Tailored for first-time investors, SME entrepreneurs, and compact-format laundromat operators, the Stax-X combines performance, design, and digital intelligence in one vertical configuration.
Engineered under ALS’s trusted brands – Speed Queen®, Huebsch™, IPSO, and Primus – the Stax-X integrates Control, the company’s advanced management system that allows programmable cycles, flexible pricing, and upsell features. This technology helps operators maximise throughput and revenue across business hours while reducing operational complexity.
“Malaysia has a strong and growing SME sector, and the self-service laundry space continues to attract first-time investors and microbusiness owners,” 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.”
According to the World Bank and Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), SMEs account for over 97% of business establishments, contributing nearly 39% of GDP and employing almost half of Malaysia’s workforce. As property costs and labor challenges rise, entrepreneurs are increasingly turning to self-service laundromats for their low-overhead, high-demand, and recurring-revenue model.
“With real estate costs rising, store owners need every square foot to count,” added Kevin Lam, Senior Area Sales Manager at ALS. “Stax-X offers that without compromise — delivering an efficient, scalable, and space-optimized product that maximizes return on investment per square foot.”
The Stax-X is available in 13KG and 22KG capacities, each designed for high durability and reduced maintenance downtime. Notable features include a modern flush-mounted soap dispenser, streamlined service access with minimal front fasteners, and a premium aesthetic suited for contemporary laundromat interiors.
ALS’s partners currently support more than 2,600 laundromats across Malaysia, including leading franchise brands such as LaundryBar and Dobi Land. The company plans to continue expanding into underserved regions while supporting micro-franchise developers and secondary income earners.
Both SSN30 and SSN50 models of Stax-X are now available nationwide through ALS’s authorized distributor network, with regional pricing aligned to other Southeast Asian markets.
