Alsco Uniforms Opens Advanced Laundry Facility in Surrey with Major Community and Environmental Benefits

Alsco Uniforms has inaugurated a cutting-edge laundry processing facility in Surrey, British Columbia, marking a significant expansion in the company's operational capabilities and underscoring its commitment to sustainable growth and community engagement. The new 62,000-square-foot facility, situated on 4.5 acres, represents one of North America's most advanced laundry processing centers equipped with state-of-the-art technology that can process over 300,000 pounds of laundry weekly, serving more than 1,500 customers across a 500-kilometer range from Whistler to the Fraser Valley.

Bob Steiner, Chief Executive Officer of Alsco Uniforms, emphasized the facility's forward-thinking design, stating that the new plant is designed with the future in mind and equipped to handle up to three times as many customers, ensuring preparedness to meet growing customer demands while continuing to deliver exceptional service. The Surrey facility's opening benefits both operational capacity and the local community, employing over 90 full-time staff while actively contributing to local enhancement projects including planting 2,000 new trees, expanding streets, and installing public benches.

Dan Barnetson, General Manager, expressed pride in the facility's potential for positive community impact, a sentiment echoed by Linda Annis, Councillor for the city of Surrey, who welcomed the addition as a terrific new addition to Surrey and the Newton neighbourhood, noting that with 135 years of experience, Alsco Uniforms' impressive client list reflects the professionalism and service that has become a hallmark of the company. Sustainability forms a core focus of the new facility, with advanced laundry processing technology implemented to reduce water and energy usage, aligning with Alsco Uniforms' commitment to minimizing environmental impact while advocating for reusable uniforms and linens as sustainable alternatives to disposable products.

This expansion reinforces Alsco Uniforms' position as the world's largest uniform company with over 200 locations across 12 countries serving more than 350,000 customers, representing a significant step in the company's 135-year history that began with the invention of the uniform and linen rental industry. The facility opening gains additional importance given Surrey's rapid growth projections to become British Columbia's largest city in five years, where established companies like Alsco Uniforms contribute significantly to economic development and attractiveness as a place to work and live.

For businesses throughout British Columbia, the new Alsco Uniforms facility offers enhanced capabilities in providing hygienically clean uniforms, linens, floor mats, mops, and first aid and restroom supplies, with increased capacity and efficiency likely to benefit a wide range of industries including healthcare, automotive, industrial, and hospitality sectors.
