Alsco Uniforms Opens New Facility in British Columbia

Alsco Uniforms, Salt Lake City, recently announced the opening of its new state-of-the-art laundry processing facility in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, which relocated earlier this year from the company’s downtown Vancouver facility.

With a fleet of 20 delivery vehicles, Alsco Uniforms currently services more than 1,500 customers from the Whistler area to the Fraser Valley, covering more than 500 kilometers (311 miles). This new facility, spanning 62,000 square feet on 4.5 acres, is among the most advanced of its kind in North America. It features cutting-edge technology that significantly enhances operational efficiency, allowing the plant to process more than 300,000 lbs. of laundry per week.

“Our new plant is designed with the future in mind, equipped to handle up to three times as many customers,” said Alsco Uniforms’ CEO Bob Steiner. “This capability ensures that we are well prepared to meet growing customer demands and continue delivering exceptional service.”

Alsco Uniforms maintained a commitment to the community as a central focus when building the facility. The plant employs more than 90 full-time staff and has contributed to local enhancement projects, including the planting of 2,000 new trees, the expansion of streets and the installation of public benches. “We are so proud of our new facility and the positive impact we will make in the Surrey community for many years to come,” said General Manager Dan Barnetson.

The facility is equipped with advanced laundry processing technology designed to reduce water and energy usage, minimizing the company’s environmental footprint. On Sept. 19, Alsco Uniforms will host a tour of this state-of-the-art laundry facility that includes a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Visit bit.ly/3AOKFO3 for details.
