NEWS ROUND-UP
Maxi-Press joins Jensen-Group INTERNATIONAL
Maxi-Press has announced that it has joined the Jensen-Group with its membrane and spare parts business. The Jensen-Group now holds 85% of the shares of Maxi-Press Holding GmbH including its worldwide subsidiaries.
Maxi-Press this is an extremely positive step with the numerous opportunities for new products and even better services that are possible with a globally strongly positioned partner such as the Jensen- Group. Many of the resulting synergies will also offer great added value to all laundries worldwide.
As part of the acquisition, Maxi-Press will continue to operate under the well- established Maxi-Press brand, while founder and CEO Tim Zaiser will continue to run the business.
“I knew Jensen would approach me one day and I am very proud that Maxi-Press is now a member of the Jensen-Group,” said Tim Zaiser, sharing his excitement about the move.
All Maxi-Press employees support the decision and are looking forward to a great future, as was clearly demonstrated during the visit by Jensen CEO Jesper Jensen and Gerda Jank, director corporate alignment at Jensen, to the Maxi-Press headquarters in Eichenzell near Fulda, Germany. The shared vision and trust in future collaboration strengthens the cohesion and commitment of the entire team. Nothing will change for Maxi-Press customers and sales partners. Maxi-Press remains an independent company – which is now a member of the Jensen-Group. All contacts and personnel remain unchanged and can be reached in the usual manner by all Maxi-Press customers.
TSA/UKH: Hospitality and laundries agree sustainability targets and action points
UK
The relationship between UKHospitality (UKH) and the Textile Services Association (TSA) is becoming ever closer, as the latest meeting between the two associations agreed a number of sustainability targets and action points, including the adoption of a carbon calculator for laundry. Discussions at the latest Round Table meeting between the two associations centred around both UKH’s and the commercial laundry industry’s sustainability road map.
The TSA presentation on its plan for a carbon calculator for laundry was greeted enthusiastically, with attendees keen to be represented in the technical groups that will contribute to making the data more bespoke for both industries. On sustainable laundry procurement, the TSA and the Zero Carbon Forum plan to look at suitable tender questions for the forum to display.

Other plans include a TSA-hosted webinar for housekeepers on linen loss, talking about how to educate staff on the importance of looking after textiles. This follows the success of the TSA’s training
initiative based around its ‘Pasha the Pillowcase’ animation aimed at reducing linen loss and damage.
The next UKHospitality TSA Round Table is on 24 September at the NEC Crown Plaza.
