PHILADELPHIA — Aramark, a global entity in food, facilities management and uniforms, is increasing its capacity to provide cleanroom services to customers throughout the Southwest with its new 34,350-square-foot processing plant in McKinney, Texas, the company reports.
Over the next three years, the new McKinney operation is expected to create approximately 120 new local jobs, Aramark says.
“This expansion is designed to drive innovation and improve the speed of service for our growing cleanroom service customer base in the Southwest,” says Brad Drummond, COO for Aramark’s uniform business. “The McKinney processing facility is the second recent expansion of our cleanroom service capacity, as we opened a smaller but similar plant in April 2015, in Toronto.”

The project included a 5,500-square-foot clean room, a 9,900-square-foot office remodel, renovated laundry space, a new mezzanine, boiler room and a reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) room.
Upgrades to the building included LED lighting, new plant ventilation to reverse the building airflow, and new utility services. The washroom equipment was provided by G.A. Braun, and Ludell furnished the mechanical room equipment, according to ARCO/Murray.

All of Aramark’s cleanroom processing facilities are International Organization for Standardization Class 5-certified and use a proprietary wash formula with deionized water to help ensure garments meet Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology recommendations, according to the company.
