Elis enters Malaysian cleanroom consumables market with acquisition

Elis, the international multi-service provider for cleanroom, workwear, hygiene and facility services solutions, has announced the 100% acquisition of the Wonway Company in Malaysia servicing the cleanroom sector.

Founded in 1984, Wonway provides reusable garments services for cleanrooms to mainly international groups operating in semiconductors, medical devices and chemicals industries.

The group employs around 200 employees and can address the entire Malaysian territory thanks to 3 specialised laundries.

These three laundries are located in the regions of Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Malacca.

In 2023, Wonway delivered revenue close to 29 million ringgits ($6.1m).

“By adding Wonway to the Elis Cleanroom group we meet the demand of our international customer portfolio of being present in APAC and foster the Elis strategy of being a Global cleanroom service provider of reusable, launderable cleanroom products,” Elis stated. “We welcome an exchange of ideas and expertise with their addition to the Elis Cleanroom group.”

As a contamination control partner, Elis Cleanroom now has a presence in Europe, Latin America and Asia.

Elis Cleanroom solutions include the rental of reusable garments, cleaning systems, mats, goggles, footwear, autoclavable bags, and covers for equipment all to be monitored with the Elis Connect management system.
