Ellis Corp. Inks South Korea Distribution Deal with Bisko

ITASCA, Ill. — Industrial laundry equipment manufacturer Ellis Corp. has established a new distributor relationship and appointed Bisko Ltd. to distribute Ellis and Ludell equipment in South Korea, Ellis reports.

“We are very happy to have secured the right people to cover the growing South Korean market,” says Bob Fesmire Sr., Ellis’ president and CEO. “We also know that this will provide us with a solid beginning as we enter into the Asian and Southeast Asian market.”

Bisko and Ellis’ first project is to redesign the laundry at the Grand Hyatt in Seoul, an 800-room, five-star resort-style property located in the diplomatic section of the city. The Grand Hyatt is the premier property for Hyatt resorts in Asia, Ellis says.

Bisko sells and services laundry equipment to the Korean market as well as special projects in other countries in the region.
