The nearly EUR 1.5 mln contract will run for five years and will create 49 jobs in the local community.

Under the agreement, Liwo Group will handle indoor cleaning as well as internal transportation and materials-handling tasks required for the efficient operation of the hospital.

Jesenice Hospital is one of the most important healthcare institutions in Slovenia’s Gorenjska region and covers an area of nearly 19,000 square meters.

The contract further strengthens Liwo Group’s presence in Slovenia, where its portfolio already includes the University Medical Center Ljubljana, Celje Hospital, the Ljubljana Pharmacy network and pharmaceutical company Krka d.d. Novo mesto.

Liwo Group has decades of experience supporting healthcare and pharmaceutical institutions. In addition to Hungary and Slovenia, the company currently provides facility management services to the healthcare sector in six other European countries.

The group said its Slovenian references demonstrate its internationally competitive expertise in areas where strict hygiene requirements, uninterrupted operations and specialized facility management standards are priorities.
