Oshkosh, Wis.-- Two distributors recently received Girbau Industrial Distributor of the Year awards from Continental Girbau, Inc. The awards recognized Laundry Pro of Florida Inc., in Lakeland, Fla., and Laundry Systems of Tennessee, in Sevierville, Tenn., for excellence in Girbau Industrial distribution and sales.

• Led by Ron Jansen, Laundry Pro is a full-service vended, on-premise and industrial laundry equipment distributorship. “Ron Jansen is a great supporter of Continental and took the challenge of being the first to embrace Continental's new Girbau Industrial brand,” said Continental President Mike Floyd. “He exceeded with flying colors, having installed the first Girbau Industrial TBS-50 Batch Washing system, complete with conveyors, press and ST-100 Drying Tumblers. With support from distributors like Laundry Pro, Girbau Industrial is enjoying great growth,” Floyd added.

Since 1993, Laundry Pro of Florida has grown considerably thanks to a staff that understands the laundry market in Florida. With heavy tourism, an influx of seasonal workers and a high number of senior citizens, Florida features a unique market with a constantly changing population. “Through excellent customer care and an unmatched understanding of their market, Laundry Pro is consistently among Continental Girbau's highest achieving distributorships,” added Floyd.

• Laundry Systems of Tennessee, led by President Jeff Large, is a well-established full-service vended, on-premise and industrial laundry distributorship. “For years, Jeff Large has been among our most technically equipped distributors in North America,” said Floyd. “He embraced our Girbau Industrial brand from the beginning. His installation of two Girbau Industrial ironing systems in Nashville proved a huge success for all involved.”

Laundry Systems of Tennessee's customer-service approach is rooted in delivering the laundry industry's highest level of customer service, providing high-performance laundry equipment, and operating ethically in every endeavor. “The Laundry Systems of Tennessee team provides unmatched technical service,” added Floyd.
