Wavepoint Group install Pony finishing equipment at 5-star hotel in London, Café Royal.

Written by Jason Alexander Read time 3 mins

Café Royal is a 5-star hotel in London with an outstanding reputation for delivering exemplary service and the highest quality offering. They approached Wavepoint Group last year, to help equip their laundry department with Pony’s best-in class finishing equipment. After an initial site visit, and having measured up the space, Wavepoint Group's Technical Sales Manager, Michael J Michael recommended the Pony Formplus-S and Pony SP/U Press system. It provides guests with the high-quality garment finishing they expect, but also delivers efficiency and productivity improvements within the laundry department.

The Pony Formplus-S (Tensioning Jacket Former) machine is a pressing system that has vertical tensioning for perfect steam finishing and fabric revitalising. Not only is the Formplus-S suitable for jackets, but it’s also adjustable for coats, raincoats, leather garments and dresses - a feature which was attractive to Café Royal. The machine comes with 10 adjustable settings; which can be customised to suit the hotel’s requirements, with no specialist labour required to set the machine up for each individual garment. We combined the Formplus-S with the Pony SP/U Press system, which is available in a variety of models, to complete Café Royal’s new and best-in-class laundry set-up.

The client was thrilled with the installation. Michael commented: “The installation went extremely well and Café Royal have been a delight to work with. The machines have given the hotel the ability to offer an additional laundry service to guests; which will help increase revenue and reinforce their position as one of London’s finest hotels.”
