SITEX Corp. Since 1961: The Image Makers

SITEX Celebrates 55 Years!

By Sitex Corp   /    Tuesday, January 26, 2016   /   , , , ,

The name SITEX, short for “Sights Textiles,” indicates excellence in everything that we do, and this year we are celebrating 55 years in the business! This great milestone is a tribute to our founders, the Sights family, and all our valued team members who make the SITEX difference every day!

Founded in 1961 by the Sights Family, Industrial Uniform Services, Inc. began with some pre-owned laundry equipment and one delivery truck. Over the years, more acquisitions and a few more branding changes to reflect our growing expertise led to a growing service area and the reliability of the SITEX name. Today, we proudly serve a 200 mile radius from our home office in Henderson, KY, as well as the communities of Paducah, Louisville, Nashville and Jasper in three states.

So, in celebration, this year we are looking back on our accomplishments, and looking forward to the future as well! Here our some of our favorite memories over the last decade made with our team.
