Alsco

What Alsco does

Alsco Uniforms is a fifth-generation family-owned uniform and linen rental services company founded in 1889 in Lincoln, Nebraska, now headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. Operating under the legal entity Alsco Uniforms Inc., it is recognized by the Hohenstein Institute as having invented the uniform and linen rental industry. The company supplies, launders, maintains, and delivers uniforms, linens, floor mats, mops, restroom supplies, and first-aid equipment on a recurring schedule to over 350,000 customers across 13 countries, supported by 200+ branch locations and approximately 16,000 employees.

The core offering is a managed rental subscription covering the full lifecycle of workwear and facility textiles: supply at no upfront cost, scheduled pickup, hygienically-certified laundering, repair, replacement, and restocked delivery. Supporting technology includes RFID-based inventory tracking to prevent loss and manage customer garment pools, smart routing software to reduce fuel use and emissions, and the A-Track customer portal (web and mobile apps on iOS and Android) for billing and account management. The product portfolio spans chef coats, coveralls, scrubs, patient wear, bed sheets, table linens, towels, privacy curtains, floor mats, mops, cleaning chemicals, restroom supplies, AEDs, and eye-wash stations.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring monthly subscription rental contracts sold via a direct field-sales model, with a dedicated National Accounts program providing centralized billing and support for multi-location enterprises. Customers span six primary verticals: healthcare, industrial, food & beverage, hospitality, automotive, and food processing, with smaller exposure to retail and education. Geographic expansion is executed through acquisition of regional linen and uniform providers (Churchill Linen 2024, MacIntosh Linen 2025, Topper Linen 2025, Advanced Linen 2026), and brand visibility is built through sports sponsorships including multiple NBA teams (Raptors, Pacers, Rockets, Bucks, Jazz, Kings) and Utah-based MLS, NHL, and NWSL franchises.
