Alsco Uniforms has taken a significant step forward in its commitment to sustainable growth and community engagement with the inauguration of a state-of-the-art laundry processing facility in Surrey, British Columbia. This 62,000-square-foot facility, located on 4.5 acres, is equipped with cutting-edge technology capable of processing over 300,000 pounds of laundry weekly, serving more than 1,500 customers across a 500-kilometer range. The move from their previous downtown Vancouver location not only marks an expansion in operational capabilities but also underscores the company's dedication to environmental sustainability and local community development.
Bob Steiner, Chief Executive Officer of Alsco Uniforms, highlighted the facility's design with the future in mind, stating its capacity to handle up to three times as many customers. This expansion is a testament to the company's readiness to meet growing demands while maintaining exceptional service standards. The Surrey facility's opening is a significant development for the local community, creating over 90 full-time jobs and contributing to local enhancement projects, including the planting of 2,000 new trees and the installation of public benches.
Sustainability lies at the heart of the new facility, with advanced technology implemented to reduce water and energy usage. Alsco Uniforms advocates for the use of reusable uniforms and linens as a sustainable alternative to disposable products, aligning with its commitment to minimizing environmental impact. This initiative not only benefits the environment but also offers businesses an eco-friendly option for maintaining clean and safe facilities.
The opening of the Surrey facility is particularly significant given the city's rapid growth and its projection to become British Columbia's largest in five years. Alsco Uniforms' presence contributes to Surrey's economic development, making it an attractive place for work and living. The facility enhances the company's ability to provide hygienically clean uniforms, linens, and other supplies to a wide range of industries, including healthcare, automotive, industrial, and hospitality sectors.
