Continental Girbau West Becomes Continental West

Name change reflects growth, alignment and a stronger regional identity

Cerritos, Calif. – Feb. 12, 2026 – Continental Girbau West (CG West), a leading distributor of Continental Laundry Solutions (Continental), has officially changed its name to Continental West and announced its move to a new facility in Cerritos, Calif. The new name reflects the company’s evolution, tighter alignment with Continental Laundry Solutions and commitment to serving the western region with a stronger, more unified brand identity.

“Changing from CG West to Continental West just made sense,” said Tod Sorensen, vice president of Continental West. “The simplified name is cleaner, easier to remember and better represents who we are — a trusted extension of Continental Laundry Solutions and a local partner our customers can rely on.”

Celebrating 17 years in business, Continental West delivers end-to-end laundry solutions and support to the textile care, vended, on-premise and industrial laundry markets across Southern California, Arizona and New Mexico. With offices in Cerritos, Calif. and Tempe, Ariz., the company provides a comprehensive suite of services designed to help customers succeed — from equipment selection and installation to financing, marketing, training and technical support.

  • Laundry design and planning to maximize space and efficiency
  • CustomSelect financing assistance tailored to each business
  • Marketing expertise through Continental Creative Services
