SALT LAKE CITY — October 14, 2024 — After relocating from the downtown location in San Diego on Grape Street, Alsco Uniforms is proud to announce the opening of a groundbreaking laundry processing facility in Vista, California. This new plant will produce hygienically clean uniforms, linens, floor mats, and mops while providing first aid and restroom supplies to their growing customer base throughout southern California.
Alsco Uniforms currently maintains a fleet of 20 delivery vehicles servicing more than 1,500 customers across the San Diego area. This new plant covers 74,000 square feet on 5.3 acres in Vista, CA. Featuring cutting-edge technology that improves operational efficiency, the facility is among the most advanced of its kind in North America, allowing Alsco Uniforms to process more than 600,000 pounds of laundry per week.
Bob Steiner, chief executive officer, spoke about the new facility, “Our new plant is designed with a forward-thinking approach, equipped with advanced technology to handle up to three times as many customers. This capacity guarantees that we are well prepared to meet growing customer demands while continuing to deliver exceptional service.”
Alsco Uniforms kept the community as a central focus when designing this facility and contributed to local enhancement projects throughout the construction process. “We look forward to serving Vista and the greater San Diego area for years to come, and we are so proud of the positive impact that our new facility will make in the community,” said General Manager Francisco Lopez.
Mayor John Franklin of Vista said, “It is my great pleasure to welcome Alsco Uniforms to the vibrant community of Vista, specifically to the Shadowridge area.
