Alsco Uniforms (originally American Linen & Supply Company[1]) is an American laundry, linen, and uniform-rental company based in Salt Lake City.[2][3] In 2008, Forbes ranked Alsco Uniforms at #398 on its America's Largest Private Companies list.[4]

History

In 1888, the founder of Alsco Uniforms, George A. Steiner, began working a laundry delivery route in Lincoln, Nebraska, outside school hours. In 1889, he purchased the business for $50.80.[5][3][1] In 1895, the company relocated to Utah.[1] The company was inherited by George's son, Frank, who in turn handed it over to his son Richard after World War II.[1] In 2001, Richard retired and left the business to Kevin and Robert Steiner.[1] Kevin Steiner retired in 2022, leaving Robert Steiner as CEO.[6]

The company has acquired other companies over the years, including Clean Linen Services Limited in 2017,[7] Churchill Linen in 2024,[8] and Macintosh Services and Topper Linen in 2025.[9][10]
