George H. Rawlinson got the first rinse cycle started in 1917. New System Laundry is still located on it’s original location in beautiful Portland, Oregon.
In the early days, workers drove a fleet of Ford Model T’s to deliver orders quickly and efficiently. Today, a fleet of trucks with specially designed equipment helps keep orders and inventories clean and organized.
In the 1930’s, the pressing department was state-of-the-art – and that tradition continues with our advanced technology that delivers perfectly pressed linens and textiles.
Fire ravaged the plant in 1960. While devastating, it was also seen as an opportunity to rebuild stronger than ever. The plant was rebuilt and outfitted with better, more efficient equipment. It must have worked because an expansion was added to accommodate the growing business.
New System Laundry expanded service to local Seattle, Washington restaurants and healthcare facilities in 2003.
In 2014, New System Laundry ventured south to support Eugene, Oregon’s growing culinary scene and local healthcare business with our green laundry and linen solutions.
The washroom is where the magic happens. Today’s is one of the most advanced laundry facilities anywhere.
