Company Profile
A long-standing Australian dry-cleaning name with a practical, service-led approach to garment care.
At Brown Gouge we are proud to have over 100 years’ experience in dry cleaning since being established in 1915. By 1929 the company had six shops along with pick-up and delivery services.
During the late 1930s the company had several factories. A laundry service was added in 1938 and served city shops, suburban outlets, agencies and an extensive delivery service.
In the fifties the company continued in the forefront of the dry-cleaning industry and established the first suburban one-hour processing plants in 1959.
The Brown Gouge Group today operates one of Victoria’s largest chains of on-site dry cleaning stores, supporting an expanding network of contract sites and agents.
The Brown Gouge name is synonymous with quality of service and expertise across dry cleaning, laundry and garment care. The group also includes commercial laundry operations and hotel valet services for Melbourne hotel guests and organisations.
Brown Gouge is a growth-oriented company committed to excellence in dry cleaning and related service fields, with a focus on consistent standards, customer satisfaction and dependable results.
