At Mala’s Food Products, hygiene isn’t just important, but it’s essential. From jams and jellies to marmalades and fruit crushes, their products reach homes and shelves across India and abroad. And behind every jar is a team that needs clean, safe workwear to get the job done. That’s where Lindström comes in.
One unit to four and no going back
“When we handled uniforms ourselves, we ran into problems all the time,” says Nagababu Boyapatti, Plant Head at Mala’s. “We stitched them, managed distribution, and tried to keep things in order, but it was never smooth.”
Four years ago, Mala’s started using Lindström’s workwear service in just one of their units. After seeing the difference, they quickly expanded it to all four.
What changed?
“Everything,” says Boyapatti with a smile. “Now we get clean garments delivered every week, employees have their own lockers, and used garments are collected without us having to think about it.”
Each uniform is personalised with name tags and colour codes, so everyone knows exactly what’s theirs. “It helps us stay organised and audit-ready. If a garment needs replacing, Lindström takes care of it, no questions asked.”
Reliable support for a hygiene-critical industry
“In food manufacturing, hygiene is critical,” Boyapatti explains. “And managing it used to be a headache. But with Lindström, it’s one less thing we need to worry about. Our employees are happy, and we’ve had zero issues with supply.”
The service goes beyond just washing uniforms. “We get all the reports we need for audits. That’s a big plus.”
A smooth, sustainable partnership
“We’ve had a very good experience with Lindström,” Boyapatti says. “Their service is smooth, timely, and reliable. I’d definitely recommend them to any factory where hygiene matters.”
At Lindström, we’re proud to be part of Mala’s journey, and many others like it. Because when people have what they need to work safely and confidently, good things happen.
