UniFirst Corporation is hosting a ribbon-cutting event on May 3, 2024, at 11 a.m. EDT to celebrate the grand opening of its new 70,000 square-foot, uniform service and processing facility. Developed to accommodate a rapidly growing customer base in the Taylor and Metro Detroit areas, the new plant is one of the most technologically advanced operations in North America, featuring the latest innovations in textile services technologies and automation. The new operation and its team of approximately 100 on-site employees provide local business with personalised service programs for uniforms and workwear, as well as facility service products like floor mats and mops, wipers and towels, and restroom and ancillary business products.

Spanning nine acres, the new facility supports greater energy efficiencies through investments that include heat reclaiming equipment, contemporary rooftop HVAC units, and the latest-generation high efficiency machinery using less of gas, electric, water, and detergents while producing hygienically laundered garments and textiles. This eco-conscious approach extends to cleaning formulas and detergents that are environmentally friendly while natural light throughout the plant offers a better employee experience while saving energy.
