CLEAN Reopens its Banbury Facility with a Focus on Workwear
CLEAN Linen & Workwear recently announced the grand reopening of its Banbury, England, facility, a significant leap forward in the company’s mission to provide top-tier workwear and PPE processing services. This transformation is the result of a substantial £1.9 million ($2.4 million) investment, turning the 24,000-square-foot space into a cutting-edge hub under the Alsco Uniforms brand.
A strategic shift originally dedicated to hotel linen, CLEAN’s Banbury facility has been reborn to meet the surging demand for clean, safe workwear rental services. The facility will serve the region from Oxfordshire to the West Midlands.
“At Alsco, we’re investors for the long term,” said Bob Steiner, president of Alsco Uniforms. “Our company has been around for about 135 years, always owned by the same family. Today, we’re proud to announce the opening of our new workwear laundry plant. This plant is not just a physical structure, but a testament to our commitment to providing value to our customers and their businesses. The uniforms and PPE workwear we produce here will significantly enhance the safety of their employees and improve their image. We value our customers and their loyalty, and we’re committed to taking good care of them, ensuring they stay with us.”
Equipped to handle 40,000 workwear items weekly, the facility is ready to support the high-tech manufacturing and engineering sectors. Over the past year, the company has added more than 25 new team members, and as the facility approaches full capacity, the company plans to further expand its workforce.
“The transformation of our Banbury facility into a PPE workwear-processing plant allows us to serve the local and regional business community,” said Kevin Godley, CEO of CLEAN. “As businesses and industries prioritize employee protection and safety, we are ready to provide reliable, efficient and hygienic laundry services to meet these critical needs.”
The facility features the latest technology and adheres to stringent health and safety protocols, ensuring all PPE workwear meets the highest standards for employee protection in industries like automotive, engineering and manufacturing.
