100 YEARS OF SERVICE

The name “Initial” goes back to the early 20th century when the wife of the owner of a towel rental service marked every customer’s items with their initials, thus ensuring each customer only received their own towels.

One hundred years later, the principle remains the same. Here at the Initial Hokatex laundry at Alkmaar in the Netherlands, millions of garments are processed every year, each and every one bar-coded to an individual wearer.
