Unitex, a family-owned healthcare laundry service provider opened its Lawrence, Massachusetts facility. The first phase of the opening is focused on the laundry needs of hospitals and extended care facilities in the market.  Phase two (which will begin operations in 2021), will focus on the linen needs of outpatient healthcare facilities as well as uniforms, environmental service products and specialty textiles.
