UniFirst Corp., Wilmington, MA, recently marked its 23d annual Founder’s Day commemoration – a tradition observed since 2001 to honor the memory of company founder Aldo Croatti.
“At the heart of UniFirst is an enduring customer-focused culture that Aldo has instilled since day one,” said Cynthia Croatti, special consultant and advisor to the CEO, and daughter of Aldo Croatti. “Aldo’s legacy lives on at UniFirst and Founder’s Day services are our way to strengthen our commitment to our founding core values: Customer Focus, Respect for Others, and Commitment to Quality.”
The company celebrated Founder’s Day at 270 UniFirst locations across the U.S. and Canada, to remember the vision and hard work of Aldo, who founded the company in 1936, according to a July 18 news release.
As part of the festivities, Founder’s Day provides an opportunity for each UniFirst location to name its Employee of the Year (EOY), celebrating individuals who best exemplify the company’s core values. Each EOY received an award, a gift of recognition and an extra paid day off. Their names are engraved on commemorative plaques displayed at their respective UniFirst locations across North America.
“Our unique service culture, rooted in the values established by Aldo, continues to propel us forward as a trusted partner to our customers,” said Steven Sintros, UniFirst President and CEO. “Congratulations to all our Employees of the Year for their outstanding contributions. I’m proud of the way you always deliver for our customers, our company, and for each other.” Click here for details
