Posted October 9, 2020 at 12:33 pm



TRSA recently concluded its Workwear & Facility Services webinar series with an hour-long panel presentation titled, “COVID-19 and Plant Operations: Workwear & Facility Services Executives Panel.”

Panelists included Bill Ross, senior vice president, UniFirst; Stefan Schurter, senior vice president, cleanroom services, Prudential Overall Supply; Art Wake, president, uniform services, Aramark Uniforms and Apparel. Jim Buik, TRSA chair and president, Roscoe Co., served as the facilitator.

TRSA Vice President of Government Relations Kevin Schwalb kicked off the webinar with an overview of the association’s advocacy efforts on behalf of the linen, uniform and facility services industry. Policy priorities Schwalb mentioned include a push for additional stimulus funding from Congress as well as continued advocacy for the use of reusable textile goods.

After Schwalb’s presentation, the panel took over, discussing topics such as COVID-19 and its impact on uniform supply, and how the coronavirus has affected plant operations practices related to hygiene, supplying facility services products and more. The panelists also answered questions live on the webinar via an interactive question-and-answer session.

In addition to the panel presentation, TRSA’s Workwear & Facility Services webinar series included presentations titled “Stockroom Management” and “Who Has the Highest Productivity?” The three-part series offered attendees an opportunity to learn and share best practices, emerging issues and innovations with executives and management of uniform and facility services companies servicing the workwear, industrial and facility services markets.
