Jensen-Group NV is a Belgium-based international company known for manufacturing machines for the heavy-duty laundry industry.[1]
History
[edit]Jensen-Group NV started as a repair shop for dairy equipment in 1937, when it was founded by Ejnar Jensen on the island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea, Denmark.[2] In 1954, Ejnar Jensen's son Jørn Munch Jensen (1932–2012) took over the leadership of the company.[2]
In 1960, the first folding machine developed by Jensen was installed at Bornholm Laundry.[2] In 1970, the company introduced the Jenstack, the first stacker ever during the era.[2]
In the early 1990s, Jensen acquired AB Metric Interconveyor (garment handling systems), Futurail (monorail systems) and Senkingwerk.[3] In 2008, Jensen launched the CleanTech concept to enhance production.[4]
Between 2015 and 2016, Jensen expanded its product portfolio with newer machines.[5][6]
In 2020, the company experienced a slowdown in activities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,[7] [8][9] but resumed normal operations in 2023 and beyond.[10]
Reception and partnerships
[edit]Jensen-Group is listed and traded on the Brussels Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "JEN".[11][12]
On January 1, 2018, Jensen-Group acquired a 30% stake in Inwatec ApS, a Danish company.[13][14][15] In March 2023, Jensen-Group and MIURA agreed to a joint venture whereby Jensen acquired 49% of the shares of Inax Corporation (“Inax”), a wholly owned Japanese subsidiary of MIURA.[16]
