Henry M. Nahmad, EVI’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Our customers make significant financial investments in their laundry businesses. Given the competitive environment, maximizing the return on their investment also requires laundry business owners to think and deliver across the entire marketing spectrum, from branding to web design to digital marketing, and beyond. To that end, we seek to provide these critical services to existing and prospective customers such that they may achieve their return expectations. Through Spynr, we expect to deliver the industry and our Company these necessary marketing capabilities.”

Spynr will operate as a subsidiary of EVI under its current name and from its present location, will continue to be led by Mr. Diaz and all its associates, and have the full extent of EVI’s resources with which to execute on the Company’s long-term growth strategy. In addition, Mr. Diaz will serve as EVI’s Director of Marketing.
