Fujistar

What Fujistar does

Fujistar is a privately-held commercial and industrial laundry equipment supplier and turnkey solutions provider founded in 1991, headquartered in Sylmar, California. The company distributes and services a comprehensive portfolio of laundry machinery—dry cleaning machines (sourced through a core partnership with Italian manufacturer Renzacci, including the KWL hydrocarbon and Nebula 2.0 multisolvent series), wet washers and tumble dryers (10–110 kg capacity range), steam tunnels, washing tunnels, dehydrators, spreading machines, flatwork ironers, and folding machines—alongside specialized healthcare products such as barrier washer-extractors and ozone disinfection cabinets. Its product line incorporates both partner-licensed and proprietary features, including Renzacci's I-BRAIN touchscreen control, GLOBALFLOW rapid drying, NO FLEX filtration, and ENERGY MASTER distillation, plus Fujistar-specific technologies like RFID garment identification and dual-channel high-speed folding.

Fujistar targets four primary vertical segments: dry cleaners, laundromats, hotels and resorts, and hospitals and healthcare facilities. Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct: prospects contact the company via phone (818-838-5900) or web forms to receive customized quote-based equipment packages, with dedicated support for sales, parts, and service (213-507-6789). The company employs a turnkey model bundling planning, site preparation, installation, operator training, and ongoing maintenance with each sale, supplemented by a parts and components revenue stream that generates aftermarket activity from the installed base. Financing and leasing options are offered to reduce capital barriers for buyers.

The company operates with a small team (1–10 employees reported) and serves the United States, Canada, and Mexico from its single Sylmar location. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales and recurring service/parts contracts, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Fujistar has been operating continuously since 1991 with no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or external investment, indicating a founder-owned, organically run industrial equipment distribution business.
