Addition expands company’s operations to two laundry facilities in Toronto

SALT LAKE CITY, UT, June 23, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ — Alsco Uniforms, a global leader in uniform and linen laundry services headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, has announced the acquisition of Topper Linen, strengthening its service capabilities and expanding its footprint in the Greater Toronto Area.

“This acquisition marks an exciting step forward in our continued growth,” said Bob Steiner, CEO of Alsco Uniforms. “We’re proud to welcome the employees and customers of Topper Linen to Alsco Uniforms. As a 135-year-old, family-owned company with deep Canadian roots, we understand the value of long-standing relationships and appreciate the trust Topper has built in the Toronto community. We look forward to building on that legacy and delivering reliable, consistent, and exceptional service.”

“We are confident our customers will be excited that Alsco Uniforms brings the same values of service and partnership that Topper always upheld,” said Tim Topornicki, President of Topper Linen and Uniform Service, who has spent 46 years committed to service excellence in the Toronto market.

As part of this transition, Topper’s Toronto facility and fleet of delivery trucks will be rebranded as Alsco Uniforms over the coming months. The addition of this location expands operations to two laundry facilities in Toronto, enhancing the ability to serve industrial, healthcare, hospitality, and food and beverage businesses throughout the region.

Alsco Uniforms will continue to operate both Toronto facilities independently. Current Topper Linen employees will remain in place, ensuring service continuity and local expertise remain at the forefront of the customer experience. “Keeping the talented Topper employees was a vital factor in this acquisition,” emphasized Mr. Steiner.

Jim Kearns, chief operating officer at Alsco Uniforms, expressed his commitment to growth, stating, “This acquisition of Topper Linen gives us a strong base to better serve customers in the Toronto area. Along with strategic acquisitions, we plan on investing more in expanding our sales and service teams across North America to support our growth initiatives.”
