Elis operates a global B2B services business built on recurring rental and laundry cycles—workwear, flat linen, cleanroom textiles, mats, and facility consumables across public and private sectors. The tech stack is enterprise-heavy (SAP, Dynamics 365, Power BI) with fleet logistics tools (Webfleet, TMS, RFID) and route optimization, reflecting the operational complexity of managing distributed laundry plants and collections. Current project focus on route efficiency and equipment performance signals ongoing pressure to reduce per-unit delivery costs while maintaining service coverage across a 54,000-person workforce in 30 countries.

Elis provides circular hygiene and workwear services to organizations of all sizes across 30 countries. The business model centers on recurring rental services: clients send dirty textiles and facility items through collection cycles, Elis launders and maintains them in-house, and clean stock is redistributed. Service lines span workwear, flat linen, cleanroom garments, washroom supplies, mats, wipers, pest control, and medical waste. The company operates as a publicly traded entity on Euronext Paris with a workforce of approximately 54,000 employees. Operations are capital-intensive, requiring management of multiple production facilities, fleet logistics, and customer-specific collection schedules. The business model inherently addresses sustainability—clients reduce laundry footprint and waste by outsourcing to a shared service provider rather than maintaining in-house operations.
Elis uses SAP and Dynamics 365 for core operations, Power BI for analytics, Webfleet and TMS for fleet logistics, RFID for inventory tracking, and Azure for cloud infrastructure. Microsoft 365 and Office tools support internal operations.
Elis is headquartered in Puteaux, Île-de-France, France, and operates in 30 countries with approximately 54,000 employees.
