2012 Review Shows Laundry Throughput Higher than Previous Year, Notes Medical Laundry Service Angelica

    NORCROSS, GA, July 24, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The majority of laundry services have announced that their services processed a higher poundage of linens in 2012 than they did in 2011, notes Angelica Corporation. Having acquired several more processing plants in recent years, Angelica Corporation is pleased to be among the medical laundry services that had an increase in processed pounds of laundry.

Of the laundry services who reported tonnage gains, the majority attributed their production increase to adding accounts to their existing portfolios. A nationwide increase in healthcare facilities is likely to have contributed to this portfolio expansion for hospital laundry services, but it does not explain the rise in production for non-medical launderers.

Angelica Corporation is pleased to see its sector of the laundry industry expanding. The company knows that medical linens are an essential part of every patient's care when they enter a hospital or healthcare facility, and it understands that proper disinfection of these linens is the only way to keep them from becoming carriers of dangerous pathogens. Angelica Corporation believes that all hospitals and healthcare facilities should rely on external medical laundry services to ensure that their linens are completely disinfected.

"It's great to see the medical linen service industry thriving like this," says Aly Merritt, Marketing Manager at Angelica Corporation. "It is essential for the health of our nation that hospital linens be properly disinfected to avoid cross-contamination, and medical laundry services like Angelica are far and away the experts in disinfecting linens for healthcare facilities."
