Cintas by the Numbers

 

What We Stand For

Our founding during the Great Depression sparked a drive that’s built on resourcefulness, innovation, and collaboration. We’re firmly grounded in our values and propelled by our mission. We hold fast to a deep-seated understanding that our commitment to our communities means mutual success for all.
