SITEX Corporation was founded in 1961 and is a provider of uniform and linen services, mats, mops, custom apparel, promotional items, screen-printing, embroidery, first aid, and restroom hygiene services in Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, and Illinois. [1] SITEX is under the management of Wes and Jon Sights marking the third generation of the Sight family to operate in the laundry industry. [2]
Jon Sights is the former chair of the Western Kentucky Regional Industrial Development since its inception in 1998. [3] [4]
James and Gladys Sights of Henderson, Kentucky founded SITEX Corporation on January 1, 1961, known then as Industrial Uniform Services, Incorporated. [1] With Rental Uniform, Inc. the organization reached into Southwest Kentucky, West Tennessee, Southeast Missouri, and Southern Illinois. During that same period, the Sights family established the operating name Sani-Clean Linen & Uniform Service as a "doing-business-as" (DBA) [5] for Industrial Uniform Service to reflect their expanded offerings. [6]
In August 1995, the Sights family decided to change the business and official name to SITEX Corporation, with "SITEX" being short for Sights Textiles. [7] [8] In 2003, SITEX worked with J.E. Shekell to build a 72,000 square foot laundry facility in Henderson, Kentucky. [9] Hart's Rental Uniform Services, LLC became part of SITEX in December 2008. [10]
