LG showcases latest innovations, industry insights and strengthens global market

LG Electronics (LG) is hosting the LG HVAC Leaders’ Summit 2025, a series of conferences aimed at reinforcing its leadership in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) market. Building on the success of its inaugural event in Seoul last year, LG is expanding the summit’s reach this year, starting with Africa last May 14-16 and the Asia and India Summit last May 19-22, followed by sessions in major markets around the world, including the Middle East and Latin America.

The LG HVAC Leaders’ Summit is a key initiative in LG’s strategy to establish itself as a global HVAC thought leader. The summit also serves as a platform to deepen collaboration with LG’s global network of technical consultants, foster customer loyalty and strengthen regional partnerships through impactful engagement.

Taking place in Seoul and Busan, the Asia and India Summit is being attended by leading HVAC consultants from Vietnam, the Philippines, Australia, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and India. The agenda features technical seminars delivered by LG experts, along with deep dives into key topics such as carbon-neutral building policies, advanced variable refrigerant flow system technologies for sustainable building application, and specialized solutions for data centers. Participants have the opportunity to explore the latest industry trends and gain insight into LG’s next-generation HVAC innovations.

Complementing the seminars, the summit also includes best practice sessions highlighting successful implementations of LG’s HVAC solutions across Asia and India. Notable case studies include the implementation of Singapore’s Green Mark strategy and the installation of the energy saving Multi VTM i system in Southeast Asia. Additionally, attendees are visiting key reference sites, experiencing LG’s high-efficiency solutions in action across both commercial and residential settings. 

To enhance the overall experience, LG has curated a customer care program, designed to foster long-term loyalty and trust.

Beyond Machines: The Human Touch Behind LG’s Laundry Business Success Stories

Mr. Jun Lee, LG Philippines Product Director for Home Appliances, and Mr. Leo Estallo, President & CEO of One Rockford Enterprises with LG and One Rockford Teams

Running a successful laundry business goes beyond delivering clean clothes—it’s about building trust and delivering consistent, high-quality service. For Leo Estallo, President & CEO of One Rockford Enterprises and Vice President of the United Philippine Laundry Association (UPLA), every laundry shop they help establish is designed to meet both the practical demands of customers and the realities of day-to-day operations. Backed by LG Commercial Laundry Machines, known for their durability and efficiency, his team ensures entrepreneurs are equipped with reliable technology and long-term support. With over 22 years of engineering experience and more than 9 years managing 6 of his own Spin-Off Express Laundry branches in Parañaque, San Pedro, Biñan, Southwoods, Carmona, and Antipolo, Leo has become a key figure in raising laundry standards.

Leo Estallo, President & CEO of One Rockford Enterprises

Redefining Laundry: Creating Meaningful Customer Experiences Beyond Clean Clothes
Leo observes a broader trend in how laundromats are redefining customer experience. “We see laundromats evolve into lifestyle hubs. Some newer concepts are blending laundry with cafés, coworking spots, and even pet wash stations. It’s no longer just a chore stop, it’s a full experience. Customers stay longer, spend more, and actually enjoy being there.” While laundry may seem like a straightforward utility, he believes the best businesses are those that create meaningful customer interactions. “One of the best parts of owning a laundry business is the little community that forms over time. You start recognizing familiar faces, sharing stories while waiting on spin cycles, even offering life tips over fabric softener choices. It’s unexpectedly social, and we love being part of that.” This shows how Leo is confident that great service comes from blending personal connections with seamless operations.

Technology also plays a critical role in shaping tomorrow’s laundry businesses. “Tech integration is also changing the game. App-based booking, payment systems, remote monitoring, and machine usage analytics are all becoming the norm. For future business owners, that means planning for smart operations from day one.” The laundry business is evolving, and the market’s future is something to watch closely. “Aside from the move to bigger-capacity machines, which is all about handling bulk loads, comforters, and even light commercial laundry, there’s a real push toward premium services,” he notes. “One standout is steam cleaning, especially for delicates like silk, wool, and even designer pieces. It’s a smart pivot for shop owners looking to attract a more discerning crowd. People want care, not just clean.”

Why Customer Satisfaction Starts with Reliable Technology
For Leo, customer satisfaction goes beyond product delivery—it involves anticipating needs and delivering consistent after-sales support. “We’ve been hearing a lot of great reviews from our customers about the LG machines we offer and honestly, it’s always a great feeling. They love how easy the machines are to use and how they just work—efficient, reliable, and always delivering top-notch results.

“What really stands out for them is the smart features and how energy-efficient the units are, which makes a big difference in their daily operations.” He further emphasizes the value of responsive service and long-term partnership. “And when it comes to after-sales support, they know they can count on us. Quick responses, dependable service—that kind of trust goes a long way, and it’s something we’re proud to keep building.”

Resilience in Action: Overcoming Challenges with Quality Technology
Leo recalls one of the most defining moments in his company’s journey: a super typhoon in 2020 that severely affected a client’s laundry shop. “It was back in 2020 when a super typhoon unleashed devastating floods, submerging one of our valued customer's laundry shops under nearly 5 meters of water,” he shares. “The aftermath left their machines heavily damaged, and the fear of permanent shutdown loomed.”

Rather than viewing the situation as a loss, Leo and his team approached it as an opportunity to demonstrate the strength of their customer support and the resilience of the LG Commercial Washers. “But through expert assessment and careful evaluation, we were able to recover, repair, and revive their flooded machines, bringing them back to optimal working condition with only minimal parts replacement,” he continues. “This not only saved our client from the high cost of purchasing new equipment but also reinforced one undeniable truth—that LG machines are built to endure. Quality that withstands even the toughest challenges.”

A strong foundation—built on quality technology, responsive service, and genuine customer care—can weather any storm. Leo ensures his business stays resilient and continues to deliver top-notch customer satisfaction by making LG Commercial Laundry a key part of his operations. “LG Commercial Washers are a solid choice. I’ve seen firsthand how they boost efficiency, save on utilities, and still deliver top-tier cleanliness.” His experience stands as proof that with the right partner like LG, laundry businesses can stay resilient, efficient, and built for long-term success. “For anyone starting a laundry business or looking to upgrade, it’s the kind of investment that pays off long-term.”

Life’s Good in the Laundry Business: Empowering Success through Trust
For those exploring opportunities in the laundry industry, Estallo offers sound advice drawn from years of experience in the field. “Don’t just sell clean clothes, build trust,” he says. “Machines, detergents, and services are a given, but what really keeps customers coming back is consistency, reliability, and that personal touch.” He believes that every successful venture begins with a well-thought-out plan. “Start with a clear plan, invest in quality equipment and training, but more importantly, know your market, listen to your customers, and treat their laundry like it’s your own.” The laundry business isn’t just about washers and dryers—it’s about being part of someone’s daily routine and making it a little easier. “That’s where the magic—and the growth—happens.”

Spin-Off Express Laundry supports the next generation of laundromat owners

Life’s Good reflects the deeper meaning that Leo finds in his everyday work. Life’s Good when there’s purpose behind the grind, when resilience carries you through challenges, and when the value you create isn’t just for today, but for the long run.

“For me, it’s not just about profits or milestones,” he shares. “It’s about waking up every day knowing I get to build something meaningful—with people I trust, for clients I believe in.” It’s a perspective shaped by experience: the quiet wins of seeing a team member thrive, hearing a simple ‘thank you’ from a client, or watching a new idea finally take off. While the journey isn’t always smooth, Leo finds fuel even in the tough moments. “Life’s Good’ means doing work that excites me, creating value, and still having time to enjoy slow mornings with my coffee and family.” It’s a mindset that guides One Rockford Enterprises “When you genuinely care about people’s journey, growth becomes a natural outcome—and so does lasting trust.”
