History
UCC International Laundry is the dry-cleaning franchise brand of Shanghai Yunduan Laundry & Ironing Equipment Group Co., Ltd. (上海云端洗烫设备集团有限公司), also known as Yunduan Group (云端集团). The group is headquartered at No. 1000 Fengxiang Road, Baoshan District, Shanghai, and describes itself as a modern group enterprise that combines the research, development and production of laundry equipment with the expansion of a dry-cleaning franchise chain. The brand's public materials do not state a precise founding year, but its Shanghai ICP filing number (沪ICP备12002689号) and its established franchise network indicate operations dating back well over a decade. From its Shanghai base, UCC built a franchise model organized around eight core links: market, brand, product, sales, technical training, after-sales service and store operations management. The company combined what it describes as advanced foreign garment-care concepts with Chinese market conditions, promoting a "unique care and cleaning" philosophy and a 12-step professional laundry process designed to control quality at every stage. UCC supplies franchisees with dry-cleaning and wet-cleaning machines, drying equipment, ironing equipment and consumables, and provides brand, advertising, technical, service, management, operational, equipment, store-opening and consumables support. The company advertises an equipment investment starting point of RMB 85,000. Over time UCC expanded from Shanghai into a nationwide network. According to the company, its store count has reached more than 18,000 franchised outlets spanning over 30 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, giving it one of the largest dry-cleaning franchise footprints in China. The brand has also developed an internal training faculty covering luxury goods care, leather goods care, washing technology, dry/wet cleaning and ironing, with instructors holding 15 to 25 years of teaching experience and having trained thousands of students. UCC has sought industry recognition and credibility. In July 2021 it announced that, after strict review, it had again been awarded the "AAA Credit Enterprise" and "Contract-honoring and Credit-worthy Enterprise" titles. In August 2021 it participated in the Shanghai Laundry and Dyeing Industry Association's self-discipline convention on protecting consumer health through honest service, receiving a "Honest Service Signing Certificate." In April 2023, at the 17th China Consumer Economy High-Level Forum, UCC received the "Consumer Market Industry Influential Brand" award. The company frames these honors as market and customer recognition of its product quality and service standards. UCC remains a privately held, Shanghai-rooted franchise operator. Its public communications emphasize technology as its foundation, quality as its means of survival and reputation as its path to development, and it continues to recruit franchisees nationwide through its official website and social media accounts on WeChat, Douyin and Xiaohongshu.
