Toledo uniform service acquired by rival

2/14/2006

Cintas Corp., which provides uniforms, restroom supplies, and other services to businesses, has acquired 20 uniform rental locations including those in Toledo from competitor Van Dyne Crotty Inc.

Cintas, of Cincinnati, already has a uniform operation in Toledo.

A spokesman could not say how many people are involved in the operation or whether the existing location and Van Dyne Crotty will continue to operate

separately or will be merged.

Officials of Van Dyne Crotty, a privately-held firm based in Dayton, declined to comment and deferred to Cintas.
