About UniFirst

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

The year was 1936 and Aldo Croatti had a vision: to serve the men and women who put in a hard day’s work. He founded a laundry business to clean clothes of factory workers and others in the heavy-soil business. With UniFirst, he created an entirely new concept: uniform rental services. This business concept gained popularity because it delivered on a key customer need: helping businesses work safer and smarter while presenting a better business image. Aldo’s vision spurred the growth of an entire industry. Since then, UniFirst has evolved into a leader in the uniform rental services industry. With headquarters located in Wilmington, MA, UniFirst operates 260-plus facilities throughout North and Central America and Europe. We serve over 300,000 customers and outfit over 2 million workers across a variety of industries—from automotive to transportation and warehousing, construction, and everything in between.
