UniFirst Corporation is hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony on January 30, 2019, at 11:00 a.m. to celebrate the opening of its new 73,000-square-foot, industrial laundry plant at 13123 Rosecrans Ave. in Santa Fe Springs, Calif. The new facility has created more than 100 jobs to service businesses in the Greater Los Angeles area. The new plant, which features the latest innovations in textile services technology and automation, was developed to accommodate the rapidly growing customer base in Greater Los Angeles, Long Beach, Newport Beach, Anaheim, and surrounding areas. It provides local businesses with managed service programs for uniforms and workwear, as well as facility service products, including floor mats and mops, wipers and towels, and restroom and ancillary products. UniFirst had previously serviced area customers from its smaller-sized branch facility in Norwalk, Calif., which employed 55 people, most of whom relocated to the new facility. The new UniFirst facility supports greater energy efficiency through investments that include heat reclaiming equipment, latest-generation warehouse lighting, and contemporary rooftop HVAC units. All cleaning formulas and detergents are 100% environmentally friendly and natural light throughout the plant offers a positive employee boost to the workday.
