The JENSEN-GROUP reports a revenue of 341.6 MEUR for 2022, an increase of 31.5% compared with 2021. The company claims the strong market position and continuous investment in manufacturing and product development are the reasons for these achievements.
The JENSEN-GROUP reports to be back at pre-Covid-19 activity levels, despite strong headwinds from supply chain disruptions and their impact on our business activities. The setbacks in the hospitality sector of the past years are now limited to certain areas of the globe.
Investments for the future
The JENSEN-GROUP states that automated solutions using robotics and AI are increasingly in demand. In their fifth year of co-operation with Inwatec Aps, the company commissioned many new laundries on all continents, in which robotics are applied as tunnel washers and integrated finishing lines. In 2022 the new BLIZZ was introduced, a radically new approach to automate the feeding of terry towels into a folding machine. Automated solutions improve the total sustainability of laundries, as they prolong the life of textiles and machines and guarantee highest health and safety levels.
Sustainability has been part of the JENSEN DNA ever since its launch of the CleanTech concept in 2008, which was well demonstrated with all exhibits displayed at Clean Show/Atlanta and Expo Detergo/Milano. The launch of the new XR dryer was a major breakthrough: It will set new benchmarks in productivity thanks to its extra airflow for a greater air exchange and up to 15% higher evaporation capacity.
In 2022, Jensen officially opened their re-built American manufacturing plant, which had been destroyed by a hurricane. The JENSEN factory in Panama City, Florida engineers and produces material handling solutions as well as washroom equipment for the US market.
The JENSEN factory in Xuzhou/China was the first within the JENSEN-GROUP to install solar panels as well as new e-bike charging stations as part of the “bike-to-work” initiative. The team at JENSEN China is overjoyed that the three-years-long lockdown has finally come to an end, and that production is running at 100%.
Outlook
The focus of the Jensen Group will continue to be on customer-centered innovation and sustainable growth through new product development and through our participation in Inwatec. The view of 2023 is clouded by geopolitical and military threats as well as a possible slowdown in demand due to an economic recession in our key markets.
