Washing Machine
The first rotary washing machine was invented by Hamilton Smith in 1858. Service Uniform cleans and hand-inspects every garment that enters our facility. It would be extremely time to consume for us to deliver fresh, clean uniforms to our customers without the assistance of our industrial strength washing machines.
-
The Diesel Engine
The diesel engine has helped take the uniform industry to the next level by powering large laundry delivery vehicles. As the natural progression from steam-power, diesel engines have several advantages over other internal combustion engines. Some of the advantages diesel engines have over other internal combustion engines include burning less fuel, lesser carbon monoxide content in emissions, and they can be strengthened without worrying about combustion when under high pressure.

The Sewing Machine
In 1846, Elias Howe invented the sewing machine, which made sewing clothes, textiles, and other materials a lot easier. It is one of the few products you can find in all corners of the civilized world. Without sewing machines, it would be impossible for Service Uniform to maintain the amount of garments we have in stock today.

The Factory System
The industrial revolution popularized the factory system in America. As a result of businesses growing larger than ever before, managers needed a way to ensure all required jobs were done well. By linking talent with technology, the factory system revolutionized how large businesses operate.
