UniFirst Corporation specializes in providing a wide array of workplace uniforms and protective clothing across the United States, Europe, and Canada. With a focus on service and quality, they offer everything from shirts, pants, and jackets to specialized gear like flame-resistant and high-visibility wear. Beyond clothing, UniFirst also supplies industrial wiping products, floor mats, and a variety of restroom and cleaning supplies. They cater to a diverse clientele, including automotive, food service, healthcare, and technology sectors, offering rental, lease, and purchase options to meet different needs. Founded in 1936, UniFirst is headquartered in Wilmington, Massachusetts.
UniFirst beat on revenue with a 1% edge above consensus, but a 43% EPS miss masks the real headline: roughly $26 million in merger costs and ERP spending hammered the bottom line while the core uniform services business posted solid 3.6% organic growth. The Cintas deal now faces FTC scrutiny after both companies received Second Requests in June, leaving the clock ticking on regulatory approval expected in the second half of 2026.
