TOGETHER FOR A CLEANER TOMORROW!

A cleaner tomorrow means that we tailor solutions that facilitate our customers' everyday lives – with clean laundry as a result. It also means that we strive to do this in the most sustainable way possible, with actions that promote both the environment and humanity.

To succeed, we, together with Textilia Denmark, have nearly 2500 employees spread across 27 laundries. In Sweden, we are present all over the country - from Boden in the north to Malmö in the south. We have over 40 nationalities represented, a wide age range, and a gender distribution of about 50% men/women across the company and 40% women in management.

Common sense instead of rules and manuals.

At Textilia, we are driven by purpose, clear intentions, and values – not by rules and manuals. We use our judgment and common sense when performing our work, and we dare to make mistakes along the way to learn and grow.

Of course, we have goals, action plans, and management systems just like many other companies, but we combine that with a flat management structure and decentralized responsibility. The leader is there as support, and the employee is the expert in their field. This creates trust and forms the basis for growth with the task within Textilia.
