Cintas Corporation Medium Business of the Year for 2005
Each year the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors honors local companies that contribute to the county’s economy and its citizens. The intent is to give recognition to small, medium and large organizations that consistently uphold the principles and standards of ethical business practices and that advertise and sell with integrity, participate consistently in community, trade associations and local programs that better our county and region.
The Board of Supervisors, and the selection committee, awarded Cintas Corporation, as the recipient of Chesterfield County’s 2005 Medium Business of the Year Award. Cintas Corporation has demonstrated its dedication and commitment as medium business of the year to the community of Chesterfield County.
Cintas Corporation, which is located at 12524 Kingston Avenue in Chester, employs over 180 employees. Cintas is the largest uniform supplier in North America with approximately 700,000 customers nationwide. In 1990, Cintas began business with the buy-out of the family-owned Metropolitan Uniform Company in Hopewell. Due to explosive growth in the rental uniform and facilities services businesses, Cintas later moved to a larger facility in the River’s Bend area in Chester, Virginia.
