What We Stand For

We hold fast to a deep-seated understanding that our commitment to our communities means mutual success for all.  

 

How We Started

2016

Ready for the Workday® becomes the new corporate tagline in conjunction with the launch of our first national radio and TV advertising campaign. Cintas acquires ZEE Medical and establishes a partnership with Chef Works®.

2001
Cintas surpasses $2 billion in annual revenue and is added to the S&P 500 Composite Stock Price Index. The Safety Director® product line is introduced in First Aid & Safety.
1984
Cintas becomes publicly traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange.
1970
Satellite Corporation is so successful that Acme Uniform & Linen, Inc. is merged into the Satellite Corporation and the first annual shareholders meeting is held.

1929
After the Great Depression closed the circus where they performed, Doc and Amelia Farmer see an opportunity to collect old, used rags that factories have thrown away, launder them and sell them back to businesses. The foundation of what would become Cintas is formed.
