In the UK, a full-service provider in the laundry services industry and part of the Alsco family of companies – CLEAN – has recently reopened its Banbury laundry facility. Formerly only adapted to hotel linen processing, the facility has gone through a major transformation.

Following a substantial £1.9 million investment in the 24,000sqft facility, it has evolved into a state-of-the-art workwear, PPE, and floor protection mat processing laundry under the Alsco Uniforms brand. This strategic shift is a response to the booming demand for perfectly clean and safe workwear rental services in the region. With its large-scale PPE workwear processing capabilities, the laundry is now fully prepared to process a variety of 40,000 workwear items each week. This includes a mix of PPE garments, floor protection mats, and roller towels.

In the past year, the company has been actively recruiting and has hired over 25 people at the site. Additional hiring for roles in production, engineering, delivery and logistics, and customer support is expected. In the upgraded facility state-of-the-art technology enables working according to strict health and safety protocols. This ensures that all PPE workwear processed meet the highest standards required for protecting workers in various sectors, including automotive, engineering, aggregates, the railways and transport, and the wider manufacturing industry.
