Break & Wash

Break & Wash is a Polish company that describes itself as the first in Poland to provide ready-made vending solutions for washer-dryers at petrol stations. The business is built around self-service laundry units installed at large filling stations whose parking areas are adapted to trucks, giving drivers round-the-clock access to washing and drying. The company presents its offer as a comprehensive package covering equipment supply, installation and servicing by qualified staff, rather than simply selling machines. The service is aimed at three broad groups: individual motorists, professional drivers, and companies in the TSL sector (transport, forwarding and logistics). Each machine is fitted with a payment system that accepts coins and prepaid cards, and the company also lists credit cards and NFC among payment methods. Washing programmes are offered at 30, 40 and 60 degrees Celsius with cycle times of roughly 20 to 45 minutes, while drying programmes run at 40 and 60 degrees for about 20 to 40 minutes. Detergent can be bought from the machine or supplied by the user. Break & Wash is registered as BREAK & WASH Sp. z o.o., with its address at ul. Chęcińska 11 in Bydgoszcz, Poland. The company promotes a network of locations and a partner programme, and it positions the service around the idea of combining a break with getting laundry done — the "ZawszePoDrodze" ("always on the road") theme used in its branding. Prices are set by location and enquiries are directed to a contact telephone number. The company operates as a private limited-liability business and is not known to be listed on a stock exchange.

Break & Wash is a Polish enterprise that built its business around a specific niche: self-service laundry at petrol stations. According to its own description, it was the first company in Poland to offer ready-made vending solutions for washer-dryers at filling stations. The concept addresses a practical need among long-distance and professional drivers, who often spend extended periods on the road and have limited access to laundry facilities. The company's model is not limited to selling or renting machines. Break & Wash presents itself as providing comprehensive assistance across the supply of equipment, installation and service carried out by qualified employees. The machines are designed to operate without on-site staff, giving users access to products and services 24 hours a day. Payment is handled through integrated systems that accept coins and prepaid cards, with credit cards and NFC also listed among accepted methods. The service offer is deliberately simple: water washing and drying. Washing programmes are available at 30, 40 and 60 degrees Celsius, with cycle times of approximately 20, 35 and 45 minutes respectively. Drying programmes run at 40 and 60 degrees for about 20 and 40 minutes. Detergent can be purchased from the machine or supplied by the customer. Prices are set individually by location, and the company directs enquiries to a contact telephone number. Break & Wash targets individual customers, professional drivers and companies in the TSL sector — transport, forwarding and logistics. Its locations are chosen at large petrol stations with parking areas adapted to trucks, which aligns the laundry service with mandatory rest breaks and refuelling stops. The company also operates a partner programme and maintains a list of locations, suggesting an expanding network rather than a single-site operation. The business is registered in Poland as BREAK & WASH Sp. z o.o., with its registered address at ul. Chęcińska 11, 85-875 Bydgoszcz, and tax identification number NIP 5213861651. It is a private limited-liability company. No founding date, founder names, parent company or stock-market listing are provided in the available evidence, and the company's public materials focus on its service concept, locations and partnership opportunities rather than corporate history.
