With the added leadership, experience and resources EVI wishes to pursue domestic and international growth opportunities in the sale, installation and service of vended and on-premise laundry markets. The additions so far realized and those not yet identified publicly, will ultimately add up to nine and are a vital part of the “buy-and-build growth strategy” that EVI has defined with the completion of fiscal year 2016.
