Working People

Industrial laundry has got to be one of the most thankless jobs imaginable. In the counting area, where the laundry comes in, rats (both alive and dead) often tumble out with the restaurant linens. Hospital linens . . . well, you can imagine. It’s dirty work. It's hot and steamy. And there’s a distinct olfactory aura about it.

Yet, throughout American Linen (recently renamed Ameripride) folks stay at their posts for years—often for a lifetime. Why? Because the company has always understood the essential nature of the workplace as a second family. And because they understand this so well, the founding family has been able to build an international business while keeping everyone feeling like an integral part of the operation.

We produced an orientation video to tell the company’s story, and to convey the message that by joining American Linen, you’ve joined something bigger than any one person. From the founder to the most entry-level person on the counting-in floor, American Linen employees told us their story, and presented a compelling picture of a straight-forward, no nonsense, service company at work.

Other projects we produced with American Linen: Boiler Safety, Driving Safety, Damaged Linen, Plant Tour, Product Quality.
