$30M warehouse conversion into industrial laundry facility expected to bring more than 200 jobs to Hartford
About 115 years ago, Polish immigrant Max Potack went to work at a small laundry service in Brooklyn, New York, operated by two of his uncles. A&P Coat and Apron Supply laundered linens and aprons for butcher shops and restaurants, making deliveries with a rented horse and carriage. Over the past century, the company evolved into Unitex Textile Services LLC, with about 2,200 staff operating out of 13 facilities in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts
