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 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 the Bornholm Laundry.[2] In 1970, the company introduced the Jenstack: the first stacker ever during the era.[2]

In early 1990's, 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 slow down in activities as a result of the Covid-19 Pandemic,[7] [8][9] but later continued normal productions 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, the Jensen-Group acquired 30% stake in Inwatec ApS, a Danish company.[13][14][15] In March 2023, the Jensen-Group and MIURA agreed to a Joint-Venture whereby the Jensen acquired 49% of the shares of Inax Corporation (“Inax”), a Japanese wholly owned subsidiary of MIURA.[16]
