Celebrate International Linen & Uniform Service Day

Uniforms worth celebrating

August 9th marks a special occasion – International Linen and Uniform Service Day! At WW Uniform Service, your trusted local uniform provider for almost 100 years, we are thrilled to commemorate this day by honoring the valuable services that uniforms provide. Uniforms play a vital role in various industries, and at WW Uniforms, we understand the difference is in the details.

History of International Linen & Uniform Service Day

August 9, 1910, was a special day in laundry technology with the patenting of the first electric-powered washing machine, named “Thor,” by Alva J. Fisher. To celebrate this significant milestone, the Textile Rental Service Association (TRSA), backed by numerous companies in the industry, officially registered this occasion as a holiday. 

Continuous Advancements 

Since the patenting of “Thor,” we’ve witnessed some incredible advancements in the industry, and in our company! When WW Uniform Service initially started in 1924 we were only a laundry company. By 1948, we had already opened two additional plants and started to offer dry cleaning services, and by 1973 we started to offer local businesses a uniform rental program, which grew quickly. Continuing to embrace progress, we’ve been implementing new technology, such as RFID Garment Tracking, to ensure our customers continue receiving the highest quality products and service. 

Being a local, family-owned business, we prioritize nurturing our long-standing relationships. Our commitment to staying on top of industry trends is evident through our involvement with associations such as TRSA, CSCNetwork, and Dry Cleaning & Laundry Institute International. We look forward to witnessing all the future developments that lie ahead!
