CTAS

Cintas Corporation

A provider of rental uniforms, floor mats, first aid supplies, safety training, fire protection, and workplace water services used by over a million businesses, mostly across the United States. It began in 1929 in Cincinnati as the Acme Industrial Laundry Company, washing and reselling factory rags, before growing into the uniform-rental giant it is today. The name "Cintas" was coined in 1972 when company leaders doodled names on a napkin after an ad agency failed to deliver one.
