Salesianer Miettex Group, a leading provider of textile rental services in the Austrian and Central and East European markets, has opened a Euro10million state-of-the-art laundry in Slovakia.
According to CEE Legal Matters website, the international law firm Taylor Wessing, has been providing Salesianer Miettex with legal advice on the purchase of an appropriate land plot to develop an industrial laundry, on acquisition of zoning and building permits, on negotiations with builders and suppliers of technology, and on labour law issues connected with the launch of its operation.
The laundry, located on Panonska Street in Bratislava, Petrzalka, began operating at the beginning of May 2016 and has a daily cleaning capacity of 48 tons of textiles. Taylor Wessing reports that there are presently 45 employees working in production, and this is expected to rise to 100 before the end of the year.
Austrian-based Salesianer Miettex was founded in 1916 as a family enterprise and remains under family ownership. The core business is the comprehensive provision of rented textiles for hotels and restaurants, workwear for industry, trade and commerce, and the health services sector.
Michal Machac, executive director of Salesianer Miettex said: "We are proud that the owners of the family enterprise decided to open a new operation in Slovakia when celebrating the 100th anniversary of establishment of their business. Selecting the partner for legal advice for this undertaking we decided to co-operate with Taylor Wessing, based on long-years positive co-operation. We can state that only thanks to the flexible support of the Taylor Wessing lawyers we reached our goal in the desired time limit."
