Gold-level-award-winning operators:
Plymate Inc., Shelbyville, IN, “The Plymate Story.” The video shares with customers and prospects how the business was founded on core values: Image Matters, Do it Better, Do the Right Thing, Communicate x3 and Co-Workers Make the Difference.

HLS Linen Services, Ottawa, ON, “Virtual Tour.” Depicts pickup, sorting, washing, drying, folding, delivery, and process checks for quality and hygienically clean textiles, while pointing out state-of-the-art equipment and innovations to show the company at its best.
Ecotex Healthcare Linen Service, Abbotsford, BC, “A Succession Story.” Communicates to stakeholders, customers, supplier partners and employees the values the Bartsch family stands for.
