UniFirst Corp. recently joined Premier Inc.’s collaborative alliance as an official, contracted supplier. It is one of only two companies authorized to supply Premier’s members with rental or direct-purchase programs for uniforms, facility service products and microfiber cleaning supplies.

Premier, a group purchasing organization (GPO) based in Charlotte, NC, consists of about 3,400 hospitals and 110,000 nonacute, educational and alternative market members. Their combined purchasing power helps members reduce costs and improve quality of care.

“UniFirst is committed to meeting the business needs of the growing healthcare industry and partnering with Premier is a testament to this,” said Ronald Croatti, president and CEO of UniFirst, based in Wilmington, MA. “Premier and all its partners help large and small businesses within the medical community lower supply spends and gain access to industry best practices through the spirit of collaborative purchasing power.”

By selecting UniFirst as a contracted supplier, members of Premier will have access to a wide selection of healthcare uniforms, lab coats, and other clothing items for their employees. Similar rental programs are also in place for facility service products and microfiber cleaning supplies. Members will benefit from the company's coast-to-coast servicing capabilities, including scheduled pickups and deliveries, hygienic cleanings, garment repairs and replacements.
