A little about ALSCO…Founded in 1889 by George Steiner who’s son, Frank grew the business after WWI largely due to the invention of the continuous towel cabinets that would ultimately revolutionize American life. The business has continued to remain family owned and operated (now in it’s fourth generation) and expanded its products, services and operations to 14 countries (16,000 employees and 150 branches) around the world. They have grown their Industrial Laundry service to now handle linens, uniforms, hygiene, mats and first aid products.
The Shreveport branch is about the 20th largest in the company and takes care of 2500 customers around the clock. They are responsible for the area north to Texarkana, South to Lake Charles/Lafayette & Alexandria, East to Monroe and have Depots in Longview and Dallas. All processing for these locations is done in Shreveport! To handle the work load, they have 23 routes and 125 employees handling 275,000 pounds of laundry/week. That’s some great economic impact and all linen is American made!
Some customers you may recognize: Chianti, Nacogdoches Memorial, Superior Steakhouse, Superior Bar and Grill, Del Frisco’s, Specialist Hospital, Olive Garden’s nationally, Lifecare (Shreveport and Monroe) and War Vet in Monroe.
They are also very involved in Nascar and sponsor Roy Hill. Locally, they partner with a long list of philanthropic organizations and events.
Whatever your industry, ALSCO helps you promote your image, cleanliness, hygiene and safety in your workplace to customers.
