UniFirst Corporation, a North American provider of customized business uniform programs, facility service products and first aid and safety services headquartered in Wilmington, Mass., announced the opening of its advanced uniform service and processing facility in Liverpool, N.Y. This investment highlights UniFirst’s ongoing commitment to serving the Syracuse market, where it has been a partner for 70 years.
The newly built 65,000-square-foot facility replaces the previous smaller structure on the same site, completing a three-year transition without interrupting service for its more than 2,000 local customers throughout the central New York region. The facility, located at 103 Luther Avenue Liverpool, N.Y., offers a comprehensive range of services, including uniform rental and facility services, hygienic laundering, maintenance, and pickup and delivery.
UniFirst’s Syracuse location is designed with sustainability in mind. Utilizing less than 1.5 gallons of water per pound of product, the facility processes 220,000 pounds of textiles weekly. An advanced Dissolved Air Flotation system ensures wastewater is treated to exceed municipal standards, while the eco-friendly design incorporates high-efficiency systems, LED lighting, and a white membrane roof to reduce energy consumption.
“We’re thrilled to introduce the latest uniform service technology to Central New York, enhancing our service offerings while supporting local job creation,” says Jason Drummey, UniFirst general manager. “This facility underscores our dedication to innovation and excellence.”
“We’re excited to celebrate the opening of our new facility in Syracuse. It enhances our service offerings and allows us to meet the growing needs of our customers with unparalleled efficiency. This state-of-the-art facility exemplifies our dedication to continuous improvement and our promise to always deliver exceptional service to the communities we serve,” says Steven Sintros, UniFirst president and CEO.
The grand opening event on October 9 will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by special guests, including local customers, team partners and UniFirst executives. The event will conclude with a facility tour and lunch reception.
