An Aug. 24 TRSA panel presentation at the Clean Show in Orlando, FL, will familiarize linen, uniform and facility services operators with some of the most compelling concepts presented in exhibitors’ displays. TRSA Supplier Partner members must complete a webform by June 20 that describes their innovations to be considered for inclusion in the presentation.
On Aug. 23, the show’s opening day, industry consultants will visit exhibits of supplier members who have submitted the form, which describes such advances in their product/service lines. These consultants, who audit linen and uniform service plants for TRSA Hygienically Clean and Clean Green certification, will present their findings at the session the next morning.
With roughly 100 TRSA Supplier Partner members exhibiting, TRSA representatives won’t have the time to visit every such member’s display, pointing to the importance of these members completing the webform on time. Due June 20, the form requires suppliers to describe, in 300 words, why something(s) in their exhibits would be considered exceptionally innovative. Suppliers can access the form here.
TRSA certification auditors are led by T.J. Peterson, TJP Laundry Maintenance Solutions, a 25-year veteran of the industry who has worked with a range of the industry’s operators, from independents to large multi-plant operations.
