History

James and Gladys Sights of Henderson, Kentucky founded SITEX Corporation on January 1, 1961, known then as Industrial Uniform Services, Incorporated.[1] With Rental Uniform, Inc. the organization reached into Southwest Kentucky, West Tennessee, Southeast Missouri, and Southern Illinois. During that same period, the Sights family established the operating name Sani-Clean Linen & Uniform Service as a "doing-business-as" (DBA)[5] for Industrial Uniform Service to reflect their expanded offerings.[6]

In August 1995, the Sights family decided to change the business and official name to SITEX Corporation, with "SITEX" being short for Sights Textiles.[7][8] In 2003, SITEX worked with J.E. Shekell to build a 72,000 square foot laundry facility in Henderson, Kentucky.[9] Hart's Rental Uniform Services, LLC became part of SITEX in December 2008.[10]
