Company profile
The machines and control layer behind an industrial laundry
Jensen-Group builds the equipment and control layer behind industrial laundries. A returned sheet, uniform or hospital textile can enter through automated soil sorting, move in Futurail bags to washing and extraction, then pass to drying, ironing, folding, stack storage and dispatch. The group sells both single machines and turnkey layouts, linking mechanical equipment with robotics, identification software and local service for hospitality, healthcare, workwear, cruise and textile-rental operators.
Products and material flow
From returned linen to a dispatch-ready stack
Jensen's portfolio is a connected material-flow system rather than a row of machines. Futurail stores and routes soiled or clean textiles overhead; tunnel washers, presses and dryers handle the washroom; feeders, ironers and folders finish flatwork. At the end, GREIT buffers folded stacks before logistics. Nor Tekstil Ålesund's official film makes the chain tangible: sorting robots, more than 300 Futurail bags, wash and finish lines, GREIT storage, mats and garments operate inside one plant.

Robotics and software
Robots inspect the pockets; a digital twin guides the operator
On the soiled side, THOR separates mixed pieces, ODIN scans for pens, needles and other foreign objects, HEIMDAL reads RFID tags or uses vision to identify untagged items, and BIFRÖST sends them to selected categories. iJOS adds a 3D digital twin, alarms and process controls at machine level. The Dark Factory concept goes further: after people load returned bags, sorting and staging can run unattended overnight; it is a defined system concept, not a claim that every Jensen installation is autonomous.

Sector workflows
A hospital, a uniform rental and a cruise ship need different lines
The textile decides the line. Healthcare sites require high hygiene standards and flexible wash programs for surgical linen, uniforms and bedding; workwear laundries process mixed batches across colours, materials and sizes using customer-specific sorting criteria; cruise laundries must fit high-volume systems into constrained spaces and service them at sea or during short port calls. The HCSA Seattle film turns the healthcare case into a working line, showing how specialised equipment and material flow meet inside one facility.
- Design for healthcare Hygiene, flexible wash programs and reusable medical textiles
- Trace individual workwear Mixed garments, foreign-object risk and modular sorting
- Put a laundry to sea Space, vibration, service windows and passenger or crew linen

Platform and service
A Bornholm folder became a global installed-base business
The company began as a Bornholm repair shop in 1937; Jørn Munch Jensen's 1960 heavy-duty folder redirected it toward industrial laundry. The 2025 report describes ten manufacturing and engineering factories in five countries on three continents, 22 Sales and Service Companies and distributors in more than 50 countries. That footprint supports layout design, commissioning, spares and preventive service. Portfolio additions broaden the offer: Inwatec added robotics and AI, MAXI-PRESS consumables, and G.A. Braun a US manufacturing and service platform.
