Unisync wins “Best of the Best” Overall Design Award for 2nd time in 3 Years
June 15 2020 - 10:52AM
Unisync Corp. (TSX: "UNI") is pleased to announce that its wholly
owned subsidiary Unisync Group Limited (“Unisync Group”) has been
selected by the North American Association of Uniform Manufacturers
and Distributors (“NAUMD”) to receive the Image of the Year Award
in the “Transportation – People” category for the recent new
designs of the entire Image Apparel Program for Alaska Airlines. In
addition, the new Alaska Airlines Image Apparel Program has also
been awarded the highly prestigious “Best of the Best” Award. This
award is presented to the highest scoring entry in recognition of
overall excellence. This marks the second time in the last three
years that Unisync Group has won the “Best of the Best” Award.
“Everyone at Unisync is honored to have worked
on this collection, not only does the program look great, but the
product is also being recognized for its high-quality and industry
leading safety certification,” said Michael Smith, SVP Operations
from Unisync. “From the beginning, we knew that this program was
going to be very special, and we’re proud that Alaska entrusted us
with this partnership.”
The new uniform collection was launched in late
2019 with the design and development being more than 4 years and 2
wear tests in the making. It will clad over 19,000 Alaska and
Horizon Air uniform employees. Unisync Group was selected as Alaska
Airlines’ new uniform partner in mid-2016 and has been working
extensively with Alaska Airlines and Seattle-based designer Luly
Yang on the project. The uniform collection was built around a
foundation of safety and led to it being the first airline program
in the United States certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®.
STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® ensures that garments meet or exceed
global safety standards with regards to harmful substances. Not
only are finished garments tested and certified, but every single
raw material and supplier are tested and audited before the
finished garments are even manufactured.
“This is a wonderful recognition for Alaska
Airlines and their employees, said Matthew Graham, CEO from
Unisync. We are very proud to have been a part of this journey to
launch such a groundbreaking uniform collection. Unisync continues
to solidify itself as the leader in North America for full-service,
managed apparel programs, and the quality and attention to detail
in this program reinforces our capabilities across the various
industry sectors we work within.”
NAUMD has been recognizing the best workplace
apparel programs with its Image of the Year Awards since 1978.
Independent judges evaluate the programs on 1) originality of
design, 2) Technology and Innovation, 3) functionality for the job,
and 4) Employee Satisfaction
