Asda shoppers will soon be able to wash while they shop thanks to a new partnership with ME Group International that will see up to 700 Wash.ME self‑service laundry machines installed across Asda stores.
Launching from May, the new laundry units will appear in Asda Supercentres, Superstores, supermarkets and Express sites, giving customers a quick, convenient and great‑value way to wash and dry clothes while they shop.
Each unit will offer large‑capacity 9kg and 20kg drums, energy‑efficient cycles and high‑speed drying, meaning everything from everyday laundry to larger household loads can be accommodated. The machines are available to use 24/7 at many locations, offering even greater flexibility to customers.
Joseph Sutton, vice president Asda Express, foodservice and fuel, said: “We’re always looking for new ways to make life easier for the customers who shop with us, particularly by strengthening the breadth of services that meet their needs under one roof.
“This large‑scale rollout of Wash.ME units gives customers a quick, convenient and great‑value way to tackle their laundry while they shop. We’re pleased to be working with ME Group on this significant partnership and look forward to seeing the benefits it brings to customers across the UK.”
Commenting on the new partnership, Vladimir Crasneanscki, deputy chief executive officer of ME Group, said: “ASDA is a perfect company to partner with, their retail and petrol stations are excellent locations for our services and their innovative and fast paced approach will enable us to deploy our units rapidly. We are delighted to announce this partnership; this is the largest single client deal in the history of our laundry division and demonstrates the growing demand for our services.
The rapid expansion of our Wash.ME laundry services is a key strategic priority for the Group, driven by strong consumer demand. In 2025, we announced a record number of Wash.ME machine installations of 1,326 across our geographies, and we have clear ambitions to continue building on this progress. This partnership is indicative of our intention to further cement our UK market-leading position in the unattended laundry segment.”
ME Group operates more than 7,600 Wash.ME laundry machines with a presence in 12 countries, with more than 1,500 laundry machines located in the United Kingdom & Republic of Ireland. These machines give consumers access to self-service, large-capacity (9kg and 20kg drums), energy-efficient, high-speed washing and drying laundry services, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The new partnership with ASDA supports the Group’s growth strategy, with ambitions to install more than 1,300 Wash.ME laundry machines in FY 2026 and a long-term target of installing 20,000+ machines globally
