The market’s future prospects, and some of the problems that investors currently face, were brought sharply into focus at the first international conference for the Russian laundry and drycleaning market held at the Jensen-Senking factory in Harsum, Germany, on 17 October 2006.
This event was jointly organised by the Jensen Group, the heavy-duty laundry equipment manufacturer, with JSC Business Monolith, Jensen group’s distributor in Russia, and Business management group, a Moscow-based events organiser.
There were more than 40 attendees at the conference, representing manufacturers of laundry equipment, chemicals and textile suppliers, Russian government officials, directors of the largest industrial laundries in Russia and trade press.
The conference was opened by Jesper Jensen, the chief executive of the Jensen Group. Attendees also had an opportunity during their five-day visit to see the Jensen production plant and an operational laundry.
