HOUSTON — Monday — Alsco Inc., a linen and uniform rental services company, is excited to announce the construction of a new state-of-the-art processing facility which will employ 200 people and include over 95,000 square feet of advanced improvements. The new facility comprises cutting‐edge technology to reduce Alsco’s impact on the environment. This includes a ceramic filtration system that promotes water savings and energy reduction by allowing the plant to reuse approximately 70% of its water.
“The new facility is dedicated to an optimized processing space, allowing us to better serve our customers, our employees and the surrounding community,” said Pelham Chastang, Alsco Regional Manager. The new facility will be located in and continue to serve the greater Houston, Texas, area, allowing Alsco to keep pace with the expected growth in the metropolitan area. More information to come in late summer 2020.
“With 11 laundry facilities throughout Texas, Alsco continues to invest in Texas by building this new advanced mixed laundry facility,” said Ben Fox, Director of Sales and Marketing. Alsco provides table linens, towels and apron cleaning, and other linen laundry services to many restaurants in the Houston market; in addition, they provide hygienically clean uniforms to healthcare facilities and industrial businesses like automotive dealerships.
Alsco’s current facility is nestled between the historic neighborhoods of Upper Kirby and Montrose, where it has operated for over 72 years. Located near the intersection of S. Shepherd and W. Alabama at 2030 Kipling Street, Houston, Texas, 77098, this facility sits upon approximately 3.44 total acres of land in the thriving inner loop of Houston.
