TOLON: Time to go global
Every day, laundries use TOLON technologies to satisfy their needs for hygienically clean and perfectly finished linen. TOLON has been supplying stand-alone washer extractors, drying tumblers, ironing and folding machinery for nearly 80 years. In 1967, TOLON started producing industrial laundry equipment. TOLON operates a state-of-the art manufacturing facility at their Headquarters in Izmir, Turkey, and produces machines that have been designed with focus on quality, optimization of resources and operational efficiency - a philosophy that is shared by us at the JENSEN-GROUP. Equipped with modern production technology, the factory follows the principles of lean manufacturing. As a family-owned company, TOLON feels particularly committed to sustainability.
TOLON is currently in the process of setting up a network of independent TOLON distributors in order to cater to the commercial laundry market. TOLON has become the market leader in Turkey in both the commercial and heavy-duty market and is now ready with a differentiated product range to develop the EU market. In 2015, TOLON setup a representation office, TOLON Europe, in Ghent, Belgium.
“TOLON has developed a stand-alone washer extractor and dryer which is in line with the JENSEN quality and performance standards, we started selling the first machines in 2010 and we have been impressed by the products and the company. Acquiring a participation is to confirm our commitment to the people and owners of TOLON. We expect great things for TOLON in the future” says CEO Jesper Munch Jensen.
