Cintas honored for work with Saratoga Casino
Hotel and Montage Palmetto Bluff
Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS) today announced that it
has received two Image of the Year (IOY) Awards from the North
American Association of Uniform Manufacturers & Distributors
(NAUMD). Cintas was also honored with a “Best of the Best” award
and another for the Best Garment Innovation - Comfort. Presented by
the Image Apparel Institute (IAI), a division of the NAUMD, the
2017 IOY Awards recognize fashion, function, creativity and
innovation in apparel design. This marks the 18th consecutive year
Cintas has been recognized with IOY Awards.
“We are once again deeply honored to have been recognized with
two NAUMD IOY Awards,” said Kristin Sharp, Director of Design and
Merchandising at Cintas. “By collaborating with our clients, we
create customized apparel collections that reinforce each client’s
brand and are designed with fashion, function and employee
engagement in mind.”
The Cintas program for Montage Palmetto Bluff, a luxury South
Carolina resort, was recognized in the hotel single-unit category.
It was also named “Best of the Best,” which spans across all
categories. Designed by Fourmy, Cintas’ luxury brand, the apparel
collection captures the essence of southern hospitality while
keeping it relevant and approachable. The program features two
custom sublimation prints on fabric which provided a completely
unique garment for the property. It was also important that the
uniforms be constructed of breathable materials due to the very hot
and humid climate. Every garment possesses a unique feminine touch
and their color palettes complement one another, creating a
cohesive program.
“Surrounded by rivers and abundant wildlife, our property
embodies the essence of Southern living, so we wanted to create an
apparel program that was impactful and appropriate,” said Craig
Schoninger, Director of Sales and Marketing for Montage Palmetto
Bluff. “Fourmy designed a program that is formal, yet functional
while also remaining comfortable. Their innovative use of
sublimation printing created a truly unique design that seamlessly
blends with our hotel.”
Winner in the gaming category, the Cintas apparel program for
Saratoga Casino Hotel in Saratoga Springs, NY is designed as a nod
to the past when appearance was everything and the details
surprised yet delighted. It features colors that are consistent
with the casino’s branding and marketing guidelines, and details
that reflect the beauty of the new facility.
“Our goal in working with Cintas was to develop an apparel
program that reflects our property’s timeless beauty,” said Danelle
Healey, Human Resource Generalist, Saratoga Casino Hotel. “Cintas
did a fantastic job creating a design that incorporates
contemporary elegance and our new branding message.”
Cintas also received the award for Best Garment Innovation -
Comfort for its new zip-off sleeve soft shell jacket. The jacket is
an adaptable layering piece that converts a softshell jacket to a
softshell vest, helping employees be prepared and professional, yet
athletic and agile at all times. It features zip off sleeves that
allow employees to simplify their uniform wardrobe and make the
garments work with them and not against them.
