NH Hoteles and Flisa have signed a collaboration agreement thanks to which 260 jobs are guaranteed for people with disabilities.
The document, signed today by the president of NH Hoteles, Mariano Pérez Claver, and the president of the CEOSA and Fundosa Groups, Alberto Durán; establishes that Flisa will become a provider of NH Hoteles' textile renting and industrial laundry service for the next seven years.
The agreement involves the incorporation of 59 hotels and 6,270 rooms to which Flisa will provide an industrial laundry service characterized by its quality and excellence. In addition, of the 260 jobs endorsed in the agreement, 110 will be newly created.
The strategic agreement between NH and Flisa will allow more than 13.8 million kilos of clothing to be processed per year. In this sense, Flisa will be responsible for the collection and transport of textile material for sanitization and processing, including among others the washing, ironing, maintenance and packaging of the same.
Textile rental services include the provision, on a rental basis, of units of textile material sufficient to satisfy the service of the establishment.
NH Hoteles, a leading company in the tourism sector, transfers its good practices to all the partners of its Coperama shopping platform, to which Flisa belongs since its creation, which has allowed these new hires of people with disabilities.
Flisa, a special employment centre and supplier to NH Hoteles since 1996, is also a member of the NH Sostenible Club, which enables all Coperama members to benefit from the sustainable innovation of products and services arising from this successful forum.
