Founded on a tradition of textile expertise, Elis traces its origins to small‐scale laundry operations in the late 19th century and consolidated its position through a series of mergers and public listings. Since its listing on the Paris Euronext exchange in 1998, the company has pursued both organic growth and targeted acquisitions to expand its service portfolio and geographic reach. Over the decades, Elis has invested in process automation and eco‐efficient technologies, positioning itself as a provider of sustainable laundry and hygiene services.
Today, Elis operates across more than 30 countries in Europe and Latin America, with major footprints in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy and Portugal, as well as Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Colombia. This international presence is supported by regional service centers that ensure rapid response and consistent quality standards. Elis’s integrated model combines textile supply, laundry processing and on‐site management, allowing clients to outsource complex operational tasks and focus on their core activities.
Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Erwan Fouéré, Elis has pursued a strategy of digital transformation, rolling out IoT‐enabled tracking and data analytics to optimize garment lifecycles and resource consumption. The executive team emphasizes customer‐centric innovations and sustainable practices, such as water recycling and energy‐efficient equipment. By aligning service offerings with evolving regulatory and environmental requirements, Elis aims to reinforce its position as a trusted partner for organizations seeking reliable and responsible textile and hygiene solutions.
