The Bardusch location in Mosonmagyaróvár is one of the first laundries in Hungary to be certified according to the strict hygiene guidelines of RAL-GZ 992/3 for textiles from food establishments. Ludger v. Schoenebeck, Managing Director of the Quality Association for Proper Laundry Care e.V., presented the RAL certificate during an official celebration with invited guests to Attila Oravecz, Managing Director of Bardusch Bértextília GmbH, and his team. Also, Dr. Livia Kokas Palicska, Director of the INNOVATEXT Textile Engineering and Testing Institute Co., and Valeria Király, Director of the Hungarian Textile Cleaners Association, praised the company's performance and the successful audit.

"We serve customers within a radius between Budapest, Vienna, and Bratislava," reports Attila Oravecz, "we place particular emphasis on the quality of our service. Providing hygienically impeccable textiles is of the highest priority for our company. With the RAL certificates for proper laundry care, we can demonstrate to our customers that they can rely on our performance every day." The RAL quality mark 992/3 ensures that certain hygienic and operational requirements are met by the laundry in the reprocessing of textiles from areas where food is produced, handled, or marketed.

The location in the small town of Mosonmagyaróvár is situated right at the tripoint of Hungary – Austria – Slovakia. Since its founding in 2002, it has established itself with its comprehensive laundry services in all three countries. In addition to textiles from food establishments, the service spectrum also includes workwear and mat services. About four tons of laundry are washed and cared for daily by around 70 employees. Bardusch regularly invests in the Hungarian branch. In 2015, the site opened a new 1,700-square-meter hall for laundry supply. Bardusch also places great importance on environmental sustainability in Hungary. Adjacent to the facility is a wastewater treatment plant that ensures environmentally friendly processing of industrial wastewater. The energy consumption at the site has now been optimized through its own boiler house by switching from steam to gas operation.

Clear requirements regarding quality and hygienic conditions make the RAL-GZ 992 the world’s leading quality assurance system for commercial laundries. The certification mark is issued exclusively by the Quality Association for Proper Laundry Care e.V. in Bönnigheim (Germany), in accordance with the applicable testing standards. Compliance with the strict requirements for hygiene and technology is regularly monitored on-site and during ongoing operations.
