OCA and Fradin will be attending the 2026 URBH Conference in Nantes

The OCA team will participate alongside Fradin in the 41st URBH (Union of Hospital Laundry Managers) Conference, to be held October 7–9, 2026, at the Cité des Congrès in Nantes.

Every year, this national event brings together key players in the hospital laundry industry to discuss organizational challenges, innovation, and performance in hospital laundries. Over the course of these three days, our team will be on hand to speak with laundry managers, technical directors, and industry professionals about their projects to automate and optimize linen workflows.

Material-handling solutions designed for hospital laundries

For over 45 years, OCA has been designing, manufacturing, and installing overhead material-handling systems for industrial and hospital laundries.

Our systems automate the entire laundry workflow while meeting the quality, ergonomics, and productivity requirements of healthcare facilities.

Our solutions include, in particular:

- bulk laundry sorting systems
- automatic sorting systems for garments on hangers
Each installation is designed to improve linen flow, reduce manual handling, minimize the risk of musculoskeletal disorders, and support future developments in laundry operations.

Shared Expertise Serving Hospital Laundries

As in previous years, OCA will be exhibiting alongside Fradin SARL. This partnership enables us to support hospital laundries with a comprehensive offering tailored to their performance challenges. By combining our expertise in various automated handling systems (overhead and floor-based) dedicated to laundry processing, we offer reliable, scalable, and sustainable solutions designed to optimize workflow, improve working conditions, and meet the requirements of healthcare facilities.
