Konstadin Dino Kantzavelos
Being a textile cleaner of the second generation, he was raised in a family of textile cleaners. Together with his two brothers Dino was eager and ambitious to gain knowledge and develop expertise to do the best possible job in cleaning textiles. In this spirit he took WET CLEANING as an Art to do the impossible in professional textile cleaning beyond customer expectations.
This approach brought Dino Kantzavelos to reach out to colleagues and experts to share his know-how and to stimulate professional wet cleaning in modern textile care.
The work of the Canada Fabricare Association was an excellent opportunity to stimulate business development in Canada and create a new future perspective.
