The company stated that Gittard was an integral part of JENSEN's growth into one of the leading suppliers of industrial laundry equipment in North America. He has served on a variety of industry councils over the years and attended many of the textile care industry’s major meetings and conventions, including many ALM IMPACT Conferences.
We will miss you, Norbert!
