ASKO Professional has made its first appearance at Expodetergo International, the textile care trade show held in Milan from October 23 to 26, 2026. The Swedish brand used the show to bring its commercial laundry and dishwashing range to an international audience in this sector.

Laundry built for hygiene

The washing machines were the centerpiece. They use Steel Seal™, a rubber-free door design that ASKO says cuts bacterial growth by up to 95% compared with conventional rubber seals. Stainless-steel construction, dedicated disinfection programs and Quattro Construction™ add to the hygiene and stability pitch.

The tumble dryers use Sensi Dry™ moisture sensing to stop the cycle at the chosen dryness level, which avoids over-drying. Butterfly Drying™ keeps garments separated so they dry evenly and gently.

A middle step between wearing and washing

The One Care™ Cabinet is for garments that don’t need a full wash. It combines controlled steam, gentle drying and filtration to remove odors and wrinkles. Its Quick Refresh program runs about 20 minutes, so items can be back in use quickly.

Commercial dishwashing

ASKO also showed its professional dishwashers, built with 8 Steel™ construction. They offer dedicated hygiene programs, flexible loading and fast cycles, and SANI programs aimed at verified hygienic results. Some programs finish in as little as 29 minutes.

Connected services

ConnectLife Pro gives businesses a single view of appliances, programs and consumption across one or several sites. Pro Link feeds appliance data into a company’s existing systems for performance monitoring and maintenance planning.

Why it matters

Commercial laundry and dishwashing is a market where uptime, hygiene and running costs decide purchases. ASKO’s Expodetergo debut shows it wants to compete there with Scandinavian design, Swedish engineering and connected tools, beyond its premium domestic range.
