Barcelona, Spain / Miami, USA – February 3, 2025 –
Girbau, a global leader in industrial and commercial laundry solutions, and EVI Industries, one of the largest distribution networks in the sector in the United States, have formalized a strategic alliance to reinforce their presence in the North American market.
As part of this agreement, EVI integrates Girbau North America (GNA), Girbau’s former subsidiary, into its distribution network, ensuring continuity for the entire team, product offering and customer service. As an EVI company, GNA will conduct business as usual moving forward without changes to leadership, staff, services or support.
Simultaneously, Girbau will maintain a key role in the development and expansion of its solutions in the region, reinforcing its commitment to the U.S. market. Girbau, EVI and GNA will collaborate to enhance distribution and develop innovative products that will drive their growth in the commercial and industrial laundry industry.
A key element of this strategic collaboration will be the expansion of Girbau’s production capacity with the launch of a manufacturing facility in North America, which will strengthen competitiveness and bring the company closer to customers in the region.
"This strategic alliance strengthens our presence in North America and allows us to continue innovating in a key market. With EVI as our partner, we ensure continued growth and excellence in customer service," stated Mercè Girbau, Chair and CEO of Girbau.
