Alsco Uniforms Acquires MacIntosh Services to Expand Pennsylvania and New Jersey Market Presence

Alsco Uniforms has announced its acquisition of MacIntosh Services, a historic Pennsylvania-based linen and uniform provider, in a strategic move that will significantly enhance Alsco's operational footprint in the Pennsylvania and New Jersey markets. The purchase includes MacIntosh's Bethlehem location and represents another step in Alsco's aggressive growth strategy, which has recently included other strategic purchases like Churchill Linen. CEO Bob Steiner emphasized the importance of maintaining the relationship-driven approach that MacIntosh has cultivated over decades, stating that by integrating MacIntosh's operations, Alsco Uniforms aims to preserve the exceptional service standards that have been central to MacIntosh's business model.

James Rodgers, Jr., president of MacIntosh Services, expressed confidence in the acquisition, believing that joining Alsco Uniforms will strengthen existing customer relationships. This acquisition aligns with Alsco's broader expansion plans, as the company now operates over 80 mixed-processing facilities across North America, serving more than 350,000 customers in 13 countries. The company provides comprehensive services including hygienically clean uniforms, linens, floor mats, mops, first aid, and restroom supplies to diverse industries through its network of facilities.

Chief Operating Officer Jim Kearns highlighted the company's commitment to growth, noting that strategic acquisitions and investments in sales and service teams are key to their expansion plans. The MacIntosh Services acquisition represents another step in Alsco's ongoing efforts to broaden its market reach and service capabilities. The rebranding of MacIntosh's Bethlehem location and fleet will occur in the coming months, integrating the acquired business fully into Alsco's operational framework. This move underscores Alsco Uniforms' continued evolution as a leading uniform and linen service provider with a rich 135-year heritage, demonstrating how strategic acquisitions can enhance market presence while maintaining established service standards.
