ATLANTA — Ivy Linen Services is investing up to $6 million in its newly acquired facility in Fulton Country. When it officially opens, the business will process linens for upscale hotels in the metro area, according to the Georgia Department of Economic Development.
The 56,000-square-foot facility, purchased at the beginning of the year, is located on six acres at 4600 Fulton Industrial Blvd.
Management has been installing equipment and preparing for Ivy Linen Service’s grand opening scheduled for Thursday. So far, the business has made plans to use two tunnel washers, four ironers and four towel folders, and has room to double the amount of equipment if the need arises, Thomas Bresson, vice president of sales, tells American Laundry News.
The opening of the business will result in 150 new jobs for the area.
Ivy Linen Services, which will use eco-friendly detergents and water reclamation and conservation methods, has already been approved as the preferred vendor for two large corporate hotel brands in the area, according to Bresson.
“Our customers have been eager to partner with a strategic, environmentally conscious linen service provider and now they have that opportunity,” he says. “We’ve created a corporate culture of sustainability and are 100% focused on servicing the hospitality sector, providing our customer base with alternatives from existing vendors that process both hospitality and healthcare services.”
