| 39 Taranaki: La Nuova La Nuova’s continuous batch washing uses considerably less water than home laundries. REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT “A home washing machine might use 30 to 40 litres of water per kilogram washed; our machines are sitting at around six or seven.” “We have invested to make our business as efficient as possible – we’re in it for the long haul. The automatic sorting machine we installed last year is the first of its kind in the country. We spent the first few months trialling it, and it’s now working very well for us.” Brad observes that La Nuova’s continuous batch washing uses considerably less water than home laundries. “A home washing machine might use 30 to 40 litres of water per kilogram washed; our machines are sitting at around six or seven litres of water per kilogram. We also recover heat from waste water to heat incoming cold water and are planning to install a solar array at our Inglewood plant.” Brad says it is rewarding to hear positive feedback from staff, who appreciate La Nuova’s willingness to change and try new things. “They find that working here, day by day, is much more interesting than in a traditional laundry.” Other specialist niches for La Nuova include providing a specialised wedding dress cleaning service and personal clothing repairs and alterations. ̫ ̫ ˨ ˫ ˫ ˫̳˫˫ ˫̳˫˫ ˫̳˫˫ 0800 807 126 | info@blstringer.co.nz | www.blstringer.co.nz | 61-63 McAlpine St, Christchurch BL Stringer is a New Zealand owned company established in 1973 to provide quality products and support to the Healthcare and Hospitality industries throughout New Zealand and the Pacific.
