Wendy’s International honored Crest Uniform, a division of ARAMARK Uniform & Career Apparel, with a 2008 Golden Link Award for Supplier Excellence. According to Wendy’s, Crest was selected for its uniform program because it delivered increased savings while maintaining excellent customer service.

“Although Crest Uniform is a longstanding partner, the company approached our competitive bid with enthusiasm and professionalism,” said Tad Wampfler, Wendy’s Senior Vice President of Supply Chain Management. “Crest viewed our proposal request as an opportunity to expand the business relationship. Their method brought value to the Wendy’s system and they became our sole uniform supplier in the process.”

“A true measure of a great company is how it performs for its largest, most demanding and most complex customers,” said WearGuard-Crest President Mark Barrocas. “This team knew exactly what to do and they demonstrated to Wendy’s how important their business is to us.”

The Golden Link Award for Supplier Excellence represents the latest honor garnered by ARAMARK Uniform and Career Apparel. Hormel recognized ARAMARK Uniform Services (AUS) with its “Spirit of Excellence Award”, and Food Processing magazine named AUS the #1 uniform supplier in its Readers’ Choice Awards. And, in March, ARAMARK was named #1 in its industry on FORTUNE magazine’s 2008 list of “Most Admired Companies.”
