What changed when ACG stopped managing workwear themselves?
Quick summary:
| Challenges at ACG Associated Capsules | Solutions from Lindström | Benefits |
| In-house laundry was difficult to manage | Fully outsourced workwear rental service | No more garment management burden |
| Inconsistent hygiene and compliance | Hygienic laundering and audit-ready documentation | Reliable compliance and improved hygiene |
| Lack of uniform traceability | Garment tracking and reporting | Full visibility and traceability for audits |
| High resource usage and waste | Sustainable laundering and textile recycling | Reduced environmental footprint |
| Time spent on non-core tasks | End-to-end service (delivery, laundry, repairs) | More time to focus on core operations |
Imagine running a high-stakes pharmaceutical operation… and still having to worry about laundry.
That was the reality for ACG Associated Capsules, a global leader in hard-shell capsules for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. For years, they handled workwear washing and management in-house. However, it came with headaches: missed garments, inconsistent hygiene, and a constant scramble to ensure compliance.
“We were spending too much time trying to manage uniforms,” says Parimal Parak, Head of HR and Admin. “And in our industry, consistency and cleanliness aren’t negotiable.”
Enter Lindström: one partner, zero stress
Seven years ago, ACG partnered with Lindström to take the pressure off. With our full-service workwear solution, they no longer have to worry about garments. Everything is delivered, washed, tracked, replaced, and documented.
“Now, we have full traceability, audit-ready paperwork, and uniforms that meet global standards,” Parak says. “The difference is night and day.”
Saving more than time
The benefits go beyond hygiene and convenience. ACG also appreciates the sustainability built into the service: less waste, more recycling, and a lighter environmental footprint.
“It’s a cost-effective, future-ready solution,” Parak adds. “And it means we can stay focused on what we do best.”
