New facility poised to deliver customer service excellence
and product quality
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 5,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- UniFirst Corporation
(NYSE: UNF), a North American leader in providing customized
business uniform programs, facility service products, and first aid
and safety services, is excited to announce the grand opening of
its state-of-the-art uniform service and processing facility in
Eagan, Minn. This
60,000-square-foot facility is designed to deliver exceptional
customer service, top-notch product quality, and eco-friendly
laundry solutions to businesses in Minneapolis, the state of Minnesota and beyond. To celebrate the
official unveiling, a ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned at 11 am
CT on Tuesday, September 12
at 2922 W. Service Road, Eagan.
The new customer-servicing plant is a direct response to the
growing demand for UniFirst's services throughout Minnesota. The facility will house 60-plus
dedicated employees, providing local businesses with personalized
service programs for uniforms and workwear, as well as the delivery
and rental of facility service products such as floor mats and
mops, wipers and towels, and restroom products. UniFirst plans to
increase its workforce by approximately 20 percent in the coming
years to accommodate the anticipated growth.
"Our new Minneapolis facility
is part of our long-term growth plans focused on delivering
customer service excellence and product quality to local
communities throughout North
America," said UniFirst president and CEO, Steven Sintros. "Through the combination of our
on-site uniform experts and the facility's high-tech processing
systems, we are well positioned to deliver top-notch services for
many years to come."
Spanning over five acres, the new facility also prioritizes
sustainability. The facility utilizes energy-efficient equipment,
such as heat reclaimers, contemporary HVAC units, latest-generation
machinery for the production and hygienic laundering of garments
and textiles, as well as LED lighting for greater energy
efficiency. All cleaning formulas and detergents are 100%
environmentally friendly, and natural light throughout the plant
enhances the work environment while saving energy.
"We are excited to expand to the Greater Minneapolis market and help local
businesses find solutions to their uniform and facility needs,"
said General Manager Brett
Grandmont. "This advanced service facility reinforces our
ongoing commitment to serving local customers and their hard
workers."
The grand opening ceremony is expected to include
representatives from the local business community as well as
UniFirst executives and staff. The event will conclude with a tour
of the new facility and a catered lunch.
