As the first company to introduce commercial textile services to the world in 1889, Alsco not only pioneered the concept, we created the industry standards. A short list of our other firsts include: Inventing the continuous towel dispenser, pioneering the use of garment lockers, and being a leader in the laundering and delivery of ready-to-wear uniforms for virtually every type of application imaginable. After over 120 years&＃039; experience, one thing is clear: to remain first, you must know your customers and know how to deliver individualized attention and service from the first visit on. And that�s our guarantee. Freshly laundered, pressed, and on time � every single time. A History of Excellence From our first door-to-door delivery by horse-drawn cart in Lincoln, Nebraska, to the precision technology required for today&＃039;s medical garments, Alsco has over a century of business experience behind us. With more than 140, 000 customers in North America and 120 facilities worldwide today, we are responsible for shaping the textile services industry. We provide: * DRental, leasing, and laundry services for linens and uniforms * Washroom and hygiene products * Direct-purchase options for a variety of garments and linens * Online account management For us, being green runs much deeper than the color of our logo. By choosing Alsco as your solution for linens and uniforms, you become greener too. With many consumers selecting companies based on the ecological footprint they leave behind, the more green you are, the more green you will find in the form of dollars added to your bottom line.
