In its continual pursuit to provide customers with world-class
products and services, Cintas Corporation (Nasdaq: CTAS), the
leader in specialized professional services, and Rubbermaid
Commercial Products (RCP), the leader in innovative,
solutions-based cleaning products, today jointly announced a
strategic alliance to offer custom cleaning and hygiene solutions
to Cintas customers. One of these solutions is a new co-branded
microfiber offering that blends the superior performance of RCP’s
industry-leading products with the service excellence of Cintas to
provide a best-in-class facility maintenance system.
“As the demand for improved cleanliness, infection prevention
and hygiene continues to grow, our customers require superior
innovations to help them maintain clean and safe facilities,” said
Mike Thompson, Senior Vice President, Cintas Facility Services.
“This alliance allows us to expand the breadth of products
available to our customers, providing them with the resources they
need to maintain first-rate operations.”
Under the agreement, Cintas’ team of more than 6,000 service
representatives will offer customers an exclusive line of RCP
microfiber cleaning wipes and mops specifically designed for the
rigors of the rental market. These products, along with other
Rubbermaid cleaning tools, will be made available to all Cintas
rental locations. Cintas’ full-service microfiber program helps
customers maximize the removal of challenging pathogens in their
facilities, such as Escherichia coli (E. Coli), Listeria,
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA),
Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus (VRE) and salmonella. The
comprehensive offering ensures customers always maintain a
consistent supply of clean, quality microfiber products. In
addition, Cintas provides scheduled pickup and delivery services
with specialized laundering to ensure the microfiber maintains its
effectiveness and achieves optimal cleaning performance.
“Cintas has an unparalleled reputation for service excellence,”

Commercial Products. “Their unique team of highly-trained field and
service professionals enables them to get close to the customer and
