1968 / Creation of Elis: A little less than a century later, the Group was modernized and brought all of its activities together in a single group, adopting the name "Elis," short for "Europe Linge Service" (Europe Linen Service).[3]
1970s / The beginning of European expansion: Elis went international through acquisitions in Belgium and Spain in 1973 and in Portugal and Germany between 1987 and 1990. Then, in 1994, the Group established facilities in Luxembourg, followed by Italy in 1999 and by Switzerland in 2001.
1999 / Diversification of services: In the late 1990s, the Group began a process of diversifying its activities. In 1999, the Group's activities were extended to the rental and maintenance of water coolers and espresso machines.
