PRESS RELEASE
Naugatuck, Connecticut
July 25, 2011
Re: Lavatec, Inc
emerges from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
Mr. Albert Goudkuil
announced today that Goudkuil Laundry Machinery from
Apeldoorn, Holland has acquired
all of the assets and business operations of Lavatec, Inc. in Naugatuck, CT.
Mr. Goudkuil will be the
President of the company.
Lavatec, Inc. as a result of this sale
emerges from bankruptcy.
Mr. Goudkuil said today
that “the group will continue doing business with the same name and
out of the same facilities that Lavatec, Inc. has operated from during the
past 24 years.”
Key Lavatec employees
that have serviced and sold Lavatec equipment and parts in the past will
remain with the new Dutch employers.
In addition, a full staff
of past employees including parts
and service technicians familiar
with the Lavatec line of equipment will
also remain.
The Goudkuil group has
been in the laundry industry for 99 years.
With their longevity and experience in this industry they provide a substantial capital
structure as well as a new approach to the American market. Goudkuil has been manufacturing and
re-manufacturing laundry equipment for worldwide distribution. This unique
combination of services will serve the practical and financial needs of our
customers in these difficult economic times. In the
near future we will be able to supply to the American market complete
ironing lines and remanufactured tunnel systems of European quality.
Lavatec, Inc. is an
American company employing American labor for manufacturing and
remanufacturing in Naugatuck,
CT. Lavatec, Inc. has over 42,000 square
feet of modern manufacturing space as well as 17,000 square feet of office
space and parts storage. Lavatec, Inc. has over 2 million dollars in parts inventory ready to be shipped
overnight. An experienced trouble shooting department and service
technicians capable of supporting Lavatec equipment will continue as they have
for these past 24 years.
In celebrating the
new acquisition, the Lavatec, Inc.
parts department would like to extend a special 5% discount on parts ordered in the next sixty days through our
parts department.
.
We at Lavatec, Inc. look
forward to hearing from our loyal customers and serving you in the future.
Albert Goudkuil,
President
