Elis is an international multi-service provider, offering textile, hygiene and facility services solutions. Its business is based on the circular economy model, prioritising rental over purchase and services over products. Here in the UK, the company is a leading supplier of surgical textiles, healthcare linen and specialist laundry services to NHS and private sector hospitals.
Its 12 dedicated UK healthcare facilities meet EN14065 standards for bio-contamination control, while its two purpose-built surgical facilities operate to Class 8 Cleanroom environment standards, and are also certified to ISO EN13485, meaning the company’s surgical drapes and gowns continue to meet EN13795 standards throughout their entire processing lifecycle.
In addition, all Elis laundry facilities are fully compliant with Department of Health guidelines for the processing requirements of HTM 01-04 Decontamination of linen for health and social care. Elis has an in-house microbiological testing laboratory, UKAS accredited to ISO/ IEC 17025:2017. Based at Elis’s Coventry site, the laboratory carries out a range of activities and investigations in support of BS EN 14065. This enables sites to demonstrate due diligence through scheduled factory monitoring, enabling them to supply hygienically clean products that consistently meet client expectations.
