Aramark Announces Exclusive Partnership with Talon

New Adjustec Uniform Waistband Technology Enables Workers to Move with Confidence

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aramark (NYSE: ARMK), global leader in food, facilities management, and uniforms, has secured an exclusive partnership with Talon, the maker of Adjustec waistband technology. The Adjustec technology is featured in Aramark’s Authentic™ collection of shorts and pants to create greater comfort for wearers. This partnership marks the first time that this garment technology will be offered outside of a retail setting in uniform rental garments across a variety of industrial workspaces.

“Bringing innovative new technologies to market in the uniform rental space is one of the ways we are striving to improve the daily work life of our consumers,” said Art Wake, President of Aramark Uniform Services. “Every advancement we champion has the end goal of improving quality for our clients. Talon’s patented waistband technology will make our rental clothing the premium choice for fit and satisfaction.”

Adjustec improves customer satisfaction due to fewer sizing changes and greater fit accuracy. The waistbands are designed to adjust and recover, providing the same fit and comfort from the start of the day to the end.

“This partnership with Aramark is an honor,” said Larry Dyne, CEO of Talon International. “The Adjustec team, also known to the market as Tekfit, works hard to constantly innovate our proprietary stretch technology, creating a product that helps keep workers comfortable, dry, and cool. For a uniform supply company, like Aramark, this allows them to provide some of the most comfortable work clothes available.”

A leader in the industry, Aramark provides uniform rental and uniform leasing services to more than 400,000 customer accounts nationwide from over 350 service locations and distribution centers across the United States. Aramark's full-service employee uniform solution includes design, sourcing and manufacturing, customization, cleaning, maintenance, and delivery.
