Description
The network of dry cleaner Sequoia Pressing aims to open 50 new stores in the newt three years and to recruit 50 employees per year within this period, so that the total of job creation will reach 150 by 2020.

Essentially liquefied sand, silicone is non-hazardous and non-toxic to the environment.
