The famous expression, “survival of the fittest”
is most often related to the natural world. But it
is certainly applicable to the business world. For
Ecotex Healthcare Laundry Services, a leading spe-
cialist in healthcare laundry and linen management
solutions, its half century of operation attests to
this axiom because, as in nature, the company has
always adapted and grown with the textile services
industry’s technological innovations and the indus-
try’s best practices, aspects that not only bolster
business, but also benefit the environment.
Ecotex Healthcare Laundry Services is one of the few in
the laundry industry that is still family-owned and oper-
ated after more than 50 years of service. With a family
of facilities found among the Southwestern and Pacific
Northwest regions of the United States, Ecotexbegan
life as a conventional commercial laundry and cleaning
business established by principals of the Bartsch Family.
