Universal Linen Service is a privately owned textile service provider based in Louisville, Kentucky, with more than a century of linen service experience in the area. The company recently renovated and expanded its 50,000-square-foot facility on its property south of downtown Louisville, investing about $5 million in upgraded laundry equipment, building systems, and technology. The modern plant handles linen, garments, and floor care products and is designed to sort, wash, dry, iron, and fold for customers in the food and beverage, healthcare, lodging, and uniform sectors, with a focus on environmentally sensitive operations. Universal's history traces back to Spalding Laundry, founded in 1896, with Universal established in 1979 by Bill Tate. It remains independently owned and operated and is currently led by a fourth generation of the founding family. Serving a broad mix of industries—food and beverage, healthcare, lodging, and uniforms—the company provides textile services to customers in Louisville and the surrounding region.
