Henry M. Nahmad, EVI’s Chairman and CEO, said: “Jeff and Tonya Large, and their team at Laundry Systems of Tennessee are a well-respected group of laundry professionals and we look forward to working together with them in the pursuit of growth. Their addition to our growing family is yet another valuable step towards building a world-class distribution and service company in the commercial laundry industry.”
