Explanation:
and fournisseur en buanderie blanchisserie

more choices - I found the use of "buanderie" and "blanchisserie" together to be more common than the use of either word alone.

I was thinking about this term after I had posted my answer and I realized that I should have clarified the difference between “buanderie” and “blanchisserie.”

A “blanchisserie” translates quite simply as laundry. Et on peut “envoyer ses draps à la blanchisserie (Larousse). “Buanderie” is either the laundry room in a home and, in Québec, it is “la blanchisserie.”

Also, we all assumed that you were looking for the translation for a a business that sells equipment and supplies to laundries. However, it occurred to me that you might be looking for the translation for a business that distributes laundry such as a laundry service that provides napkins and table cloths for restaurants or clothing and bed linens for hospitals.

Ainsi, une fournisseur de blanchisserrie est une blanchisserie.
