Worldwide is a distributor of vended and on-premise laundry products and a provider of installation and maintenance services to customers in southeast Florida and select countries in the Caribbean and Latin America.

With the added leadership, experience, and resources of EVI’s primary Florida business unit, Steiner Atlantic, the Company expects to pursue domestic and international growth opportunities in the sale, installation, and service of vended and on-premise laundry products. Henry M. Nahmad, EVI’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We welcome the Worldwide team to the EVI Family and we look forward to working with them and our valued suppliers in the pursuit of growth in the years ahead.”
The transaction is expected to close upon the satisfaction of closing conditions. EVI expects the addition of Worldwide to be accretive to its fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.
