Mac-Gray Corporation

The Mac-Gray story begins in 1927 when H.S. Gray founded the company by selling Maytag wringer washers door-to-door. Several years later he led the coin laundry era by installing a coin box on an ordinary washing machine. During the 1950's, Mac-Gray began providing laundry services to colleges and multi-housing communities. As an official Maytag distributor, Mac-Gray established a commercial sales division that has helped to launch hundreds of self-service laundromats. By the 1960's, Cambridge, Massachusetts had become the permanent Mac-Gray corporate headquarters.

As early as the 1980's, Mac-Gray introduced advanced European washing machines into the U.S. commercial laundry market. These machines were more water and energy efficient than current machines on the market. In the 1990's, Mac-Gray again led the industry by adapting Smart Card Technology to the commercial laundry market. In 1997, Mac-Gray became a publicly traded company and is listed as TUC on the NYSE. Mac-Gray extended its superior customer service and unsurpassed quality by acquiring the Copico® and MicroFridge® /Intirion Corporations. Over the years, these additions have strengthened our reputation as the leading provider of commercial amenities.
