History

Industrial Uniform Services, Incorporated was founded by James and Gladys Sights in January 1961 in Henderson, Kentucky. [4] [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 family decided to change the business and official name to SITEX Corporation, with "SITEX" being short for Sights Textiles. [7] [8] [4]

In 2003, it 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]

In February 2024, it was announced that it had been acquired by the Fortune 500 company Cintas. [4]
