Alsco Uniforms Expands California Presence with Acquisition of Advanced Linen Service

Alsco Uniforms announced the acquisition of Advanced Linen, a uniform and linen provider serving California's Bay Area, Central Valley, and Monterey Bay regions. This strategic move represents Alsco Uniforms' continued growth approach of partnering with respected local companies and maintaining the customer relationships those companies have carefully cultivated over decades. According to company statements, those relationships form the foundation of the business and will remain a top priority throughout the transition process and beyond.

Gordon Hickman, President and co-owner of Advanced Linen, stated that he and his partners deliberately selected Alsco Uniforms as the company they trust to care for their customers moving forward. This decision reportedly reflects a shared commitment to service quality, integrity, and customer support. Both companies emphasized that Advanced Linen's customers should expect a seamless transition with no disruptions to their linen services during the acquisition process. Alsco Uniforms further reaffirmed its emphasis on quality, responsiveness, and reliability in all customer interactions.

"Our focus is simple," said Bob Steiner, CEO of Alsco Uniforms. "We are committed to continuing the great customer partnerships Advanced Linen has built and ensuring every customer feels confident about who is serving them today and into the future. Since 1889, we have delivered hygienically clean linens and uniforms to businesses in communities around the world, along with our many other services." The company's long history positions it as an experienced provider in the uniform and linen rental industry.

By combining Advanced Linen's established customer relationships with Alsco Uniforms' operational scale, infrastructure, and long-standing expertise, customers are expected to benefit from a stable, experienced service provider positioned to support their needs well into the future.
