The UniFirst – Nashua facility on Industrial Park Drive has 108 employees, servicing thousands of area business customers and processing roughly 241,000 lbs. of garments and textiles each week. These UniFirst facilities, of which there are currently nearly 100 in North America, pickup and deliver, hygienically launder, and professionally finish all work clothing on a weekly basis, as well as perform garment inspections and perform any needed repairs or replacements.
Sen. Ayotte toured the UniFirst plant on August 30 and took time to meet all the employees at the plant. “I appreciated the opportunity to visit UniFirst's Nashua facility and learn more about their work to design, produce, and maintain workforce apparel,” said Sen Ayotte. “I enjoyed meeting their enthusiastic workforce and discussing important issues facing New Hampshire families.”
UniFirst’s senior vice president of operations Michael Croatti and Nashua location general manager Greg Mazares led the senator’s tour, which included an overview of the company and the industry, as well as the many detailed processing steps of a high-tech industrial laundry operation.
While there, Sen. Ayotte also toured UniClean, the UniFirst subsidiary that processes and manages specialized garment programs for cleanroom and other “ultra-clean” industries. This niche business is housed within the same Industrial Park Drive facility as the UniFirst industrial laundry. One of seven operations across the U.S., UniClean in Nashua comprises 79 additional employees and services hundreds of business customers.
The tour concluded with an employee town-hall style question-and-answer session and a photo session with the senator and the UniFirst staff.
