Fabrication and Metal Textile Rental

Lindström leverages innovative technology to optimise its uniform laundering services and provide a seamless customer experience.

RFID garment tracking: Each garment collected for washing is equipped with an RFID tag, enabling efficient tracking and sorting throughout the laundry process. This technology streamlines operations, reduces manual labour, and ensures accurate inventory management.

eLindström: Our all-in-one online management tool is a comprehensive digital solution that puts customers in control of their textile services. It provides customers with 24/7 access to their workwear and industrial wiper service accounts. Through eLindström, customers can:

We believe that sustainability in business goes hand-in-hand with success. We are committed to minimising our environmental impact throughout our operations, particularly when it comes to water usage in our uniform laundry service and industrial rag cleaning service.

Our achievements in water conservation

• Reduced water consumption in our workwear laundering services by 50% per washed textile kilogram over the past three decades.
• Implemented water recycling practices in 80% of our laundries, recovering water from rinsing phases and reusing it in the washing process.

• Equipped our Bradford wiper laundry with a closed-loop water recycling system that allows us to operate without discharging any wastewater.

Our ongoing efforts

• Continuous improvement of our washing processes to optimise water and energy consumption.

Fabrication and metal workwear should be durable, comfortable and suitable for hands-on tasks such as cutting, grinding, welding, assembly and general metal handling. Garments often need reinforced areas, practical pocketing and fabrics that can withstand regular industrial use.

Yes. The right workwear can help reduce everyday risks from sparks, light abrasion, dirt, grease and sharp materials. For higher-risk tasks such as welding or hot work, specialist protective garments may be required depending on the working environment and safety assessment.

Renting workwear helps keep teams supplied with the right garments without the need to buy, wash, repair and replace items yourself. A managed rental service can include regular laundering, repairs, size changes, wearer changes and replacements, helping reduce admin and keep workwear consistent across the team.

A managed workwear service helps ensure garments are professionally laundered, maintained and replaced when needed. This is particularly useful in fabrication and metal environments where clothing can quickly become worn, heavily soiled or damaged through daily use.

Yes. Workwear for fabrication and metal teams can include company logos, wearer names and role-specific garments where required. This helps create a more professional, consistent look while still keeping the clothing practical for industrial work.

Yes. Workwear rental can support smaller fabrication workshops as well as larger metal and machinery businesses. The service can be scaled around the number of wearers, garment types and collection schedules needed by the site.
