R.W. Martin Parts Buyer Map

Facility counts, banded deliberately, from Census County Business Patterns 2023; Statistics Canada Canadian Business Counts, June 2026; CMS Care Compare hospitals, July 2026; CMS Care Compare nursing homes, October 2026; BJS Census of State and Federal Adult Correctional Facilities 2019.

The business counts take sites with paid staff and leave out government-run sites, so state, county and veterans' central laundries are missing from the linen rows, and coin laundries with no paid staff are missing from theirs. The linen and uniform counts also take in depots and route offices, and the drycleaner count takes in drop-off stores with no machines.

In Canada, linen and uniform plants share one industry code, so both sit in the linen row, and its plants with a hundred staff or more include uniform plants. Canada has no clean count of prisons, so none is shown.

The hospital and nursing home counts include the US territories, and some of the hospitals are rural emergency sites with no inpatient beds. The prison count comes from the latest federal census of prisons, taken in 2019, and leaves out facilities reported inside larger ones and those that did not report.

A thermal fluid ironer is built for high production work like hospital sheets, which is why healthcare plants lead. Fluid runs hotter than steam, so a three-chest oil-heated ironer matches the output of a five-chest steam unit.

Many newer gas-fired ironers heat their own thermal oil on board. A plant that never bought a central fluid system may still run fluid that needs topping up and testing.

The fluid wears with use. Your own page sets fluid analysis every six months to a year, checking acid number, viscosity and contamination, on any thermal fluid. That gives every plant a regular reason to talk, including plants buying fluid elsewhere today.

When a fluid system goes down, the ironer line stops. Fluid, system cleaners and test kits in stock in Kent, Ohio, ready to ship within 24 hours, is what a maintenance manager listens for.

R.W. Martin holds the Canadian territory for the fluid and has not worked it much yet. From the outside, purchasing at Canadian hospital laundries may sit with the hospital group rather than the plant. Tell us if it does, and the outreach goes there.

On the call Canada came up for the fluid. Tell us whether the parts department sells there too. The Canadian counts above cover both.

Customers you named to us, and anyone already working with your team, are off this page. Nobody your reps reached before the pause is on the list. At two of these companies a colleague was queued on the old lists and never contacted. At one, two colleagues got a connection request with no note that was later withdrawn. Nobody at these companies was messaged.

The large national linen and uniform rental companies, and the plants they own, are held off the names below until you say whether to approach them. Your list of current parts and Paratherm customers screens out the rest before anything sends.

On November 2 you said hospitality plants run steam. Most large ironers do, in healthcare too. Paratherm lists hotel laundries among its users, so a hospitality plant with thermal fluid ironers may be a fluid buyer as well. The seven names below stay healthcare plants. Tell us if hospitality plants should join them.

Uniform plants, nursing homes, coin laundries and drycleaners buy parts more than fluid, which makes them the wider group for the parts department when you want it.

Also left off are thermal fluid users outside laundries, such as chemical and plastics plants, because the Paratherm exclusive is for the laundry industry, along with local jails, assisted living, colleges and gyms. Tell us if R.W. Martin may sell fluid or fluid testing outside laundries.
