About Gunderson
The History of Gunderson Uniform & Linen
Gunderson Uniform and Linen Rental has provided outstanding service and high-quality rental linen products since 1952. For more than 70 years, we’ve provided customized linen rental services to healthcare facilities, restaurants, hotels, and resorts and uniform programs to automotive shops, manufacturers of all sizes, and more. Additionally, our Uniform and Linen employs 150 employees in the Fox Valley and Milwaukee Metro.
Today, we’re led by the third generation of Gundersons and are proud to remain a family-owned and operated business. What started from humble beginnings by Douglas E. Gunderson continues today through investments in our technology, our people, and our communities to adapt and grow to serve businesses across Wisconsin.
The First Name in Wisconsin Linen & Uniform Rental
We know a thing or two about the proper handling and laundering of uniform garments, scrubs, patient bedding, hotel sheets, and many other textiles. Though the machinery and technology have changed greatly from our beginning, the concept is simple….
Just as important as the work we do are the people who make up the communities we serve. Community Involvement is a big part of our culture. From Flag Cleaning for Veterans to Toys for Tots, United Way, and much more, Gunderson Gives Back. Learn more here.
