Linen King hiring in July

Linen King, an Oklahoma-based provider of laundry services to the health care industry, plans to start interviewing job applicants in July and hire 30 people by the end of the year.
Regional Economic Development Inc. announced earlier this month that Linen King would open a 52,000-square-foot facility at 2600 Maguire Blvd. in the LeMone Office and Industrial Park. The building is just down the road from the site of the incoming IBM service delivery operation.
Linen King has the capacity to expand the operations and hire close to 100 employees in less than five years, according to REDI. A ceremony to mark the opening is planned for sometime in August.
“Linen King will diversify our economic base in a way that’s been missing for awhile,” Mayor Bob McDavid said.
Linen King is the largest and fastest-growing health care laundry group in the region, according to the REDI news release. With four health care specific industrial laundries, Linen King has the capacity to process almost 75 million pounds of laundry per year and will employ more than 200 people for fiscal year 2010 with revenues approaching $20 million.
Linen King provides laundry service for rental and customer-owned goods accounts, as well as distribution, facilities management and consulting services.
