Food Manufacturing Industry
Workwear rental and laundry: the perfect mix
Compliance. It matters to you, and it matters to us
As a food manufacturer, you don’t need us to tell you about the importance of compliance with industry standards and regulations. By choosing a supplier that meets these requirements and is audited regularly, you can help to minimise risk, reducing the chance of contamination to safeguard you and your customers.
At Industrial Commercial Services (ICS), we supply a wide range of workwear, as well as floor mats and washroom services, and our tailored rental and laundry services are designed with compliance in mind.
Our ICS sites that work with customers from the food sector operate a Hycare system, meeting the strict hygiene and control requirements of the food industry and EN 14065:2016 by ensuring garments are microbiologically disinfected.

The benefits of a combined workwear rental and laundry solution
-
High quality garments
We have our own workwear design and manufacturing facilities, and all our garments for the food manufacturing sector are certified to DIN 10524. This relates to all relevant food standards, including IFS, HACCP, BRC and ISO22000, giving assurance that our products meet the relevant hygiene and safety requirements.
-
Bespoke solutions
Ill-fitting garments can pose a safety risk, as well as causing discomfort to the wearer over long shifts. Our made-to-measure service ensures that all employees are provided with the right garments in the right size for maximum safety and comfort.
-
Repair and maintenance
Each and every time a garment is washed we will check for signs of wear and tear. If an item can be repaired we will carry out the necessary maintenance to extend its lifecycle, otherwise we will replace with a new like-for-like garment as part of our service to you.
-
Better stock control
Using a workwear rental and laundry service means there is no need to store extra stock on site. There is also no need to invest in additional uniform for new starters, as our flexible and responsive service is designed to adapt to your changing needs.
-
RFID tracking
Our garments are equipped with RFID technology. This provides lifetime tracking, recording and reporting how many processes an item has received, and ensuring that uniform can be allocated to a specific wearer if required.
-
Environmentally conscious solutions
At Elis, the circular economy is at core of our business model and mindset. That’s why we prioritise product quality to ensure durability, deploy bespoke and efficient wash processes to maintain performance and reuse or recycle 70% of all garments. Our focus on circular services delivers a better solution for the environment and your workwear needs.
You can be confident that our staff workwear rental and laundry service provides adequate protection, to help prevent any contamination of foodstuffs by pathogens, allergens or other foreign bodies.
As a result, our food manufacturing workwear range reduces the risk of contamination, with features including:
- No outer pockets in garments
- Pockets with flap closure for other applications
- Light coloured fabrics
- Long sleeves
- Concealed metal fasteners
- Tunics and jackets that reach below trouser side pockets
It’s not just our products that are designed to ensure compliance. We have robust procedures in place to meet all food industry standards and regulations, and regularly monitor our wash process to ensure adequate temperatures and times are maintained to ensure effective disinfection of textiles.
