Elis announces the acquisition of the Swiss startup On My Way and extends its
client base by offering services to private individuals
Puteaux, June 20, 2016 - Elis, the leading multi-services group in Europe and
Latin America, specializing in the rental and maintenance of professional
clothing, textile articles, hygiene and well-being appliances, announces the
acquisition of On My Way, a Swiss startup which offers innovative linen-cleaning
solutions to private individuals (www.on-my-way.ch).
On My Way provides private individuals with a linen-cleaning service, by
gathering their linen in pickup points located on their everyday route (gas
stations, supermarkets) as well as at their offices.
This new activity is the natural extension of the Group's services, adding to
its undisputable industrial know-how and close proximity to clients thanks to a
network of more than 300 production centers in the world.
Most Elis clients, hotels or large corporates, also have hosts or employees
asking for a linen cleaning service and the Group wishes to service them. In
activity since 2014, On My Way has already entered into strong partnerships with
large corporates like Philip Morris International, or prestigious institutions
like Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne.
On My Way will be managed from France by the Marketing & Innovation department,
notably with the objective of actively developing the number of services and
expanding its geographical footprint.
Commenting on this announcement, Caroline Roche, Marketing & Innovation Director
of Elis, said :
« Developing new services to meet private individual's needs, where they work or
directly where they live, is strategic. Elis wants to be involved in these new
consuming habits and more actively invest in these new fields. The acquisition
of On My Way is an excellent way to enter this very promising market. »
