Clemens Uniform

What Clemens Uniform does

Clemens Uniform is a family-owned commercial uniform and facility services company headquartered at 811 W. Fifth Street in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, operating since 1963 (under the Clemens name since its founding by Paul Clemens as a coin-operated laundry) and entering uniform rental in 1986. The company provides recurring uniform rental, custom apparel with embroidery and screen printing, linen rental, custom floor mat rental, mop exchange, first aid and AED managed services, and promotional products to B2B customers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, spanning industrial/manufacturing, food service, hospitality, healthcare, automotive, construction, and corporate segments. Its core technology stack centers on commercial laundry operations supported by barcode and RFID tracking for garment accountability, in-house embroidery and screen printing equipment, and route-based distribution via dedicated representatives who handle fittings, deliveries, pickups, and ongoing account management.

The business model is a hybrid of recurring subscription rental and one-time custom purchase. Rental programs (uniforms, linens, mats, mops, first aid cabinet stocking) are billed on monthly service agreements priced by employee count and service scope, while custom apparel, embroidery (minimum 6 pieces), screen printing (minimum 36 pieces), and promotional items are sold as one-time orders with volume and customization-based pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led and field-based: on-site assessments, custom fittings, and referrals drive new customer acquisition, with local SEO and blog content supporting top-of-funnel demand capture. Clemens is a member of the CSC Network, the largest alliance of independent uniform and linen rental companies, which provides collective buying power and the ability to participate in national accounts while maintaining local service. The company employs approximately 100 associates across a single consolidated facility that has been expanded four times, and is now led by the founder's children, with Janet Clemens as CFO, Randy Clemens as general manager of the uniform and linen business, and Rose Clemens managing first aid and promotional products.
