Description: CTAS Cintas
Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ:CTAS) supplies corporate-identity uniforms and related business services across the United States, Canada, and Latin America. Founded in 1968 and headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, the firm operates primarily through three segments: Uniform Rental & Facility Services, First Aid & Safety Services, and an “All Other” category.
The Uniform Rental & Facility Services segment rents, cleans, and repairs a broad array of garments-including flame-resistant apparel, mats, mops, and shop towels-and also sells uniforms outright. The First Aid & Safety Services segment delivers restroom cleaning, first-aid supplies, fire-protection equipment, and safety training. The “All Other” segment captures ancillary offerings that do not fit neatly into the first two categories.
Cintas reaches customers via a nationwide distribution network that combines centralized warehouses, local delivery routes, and on-site representatives. Its client base spans small service and manufacturing firms to large multinational corporations, allowing the company to capture both high-volume, low-margin contracts and higher-margin, customized solutions.
From recent filings, Cintas reported a FY2024 revenue run-rate of roughly $9.5 billion, with a 7-% year-over-year increase in uniform rental volume-a key leading indicator of recurring cash flow. The business is sensitive to labor-cost inflation because uniform rental contracts often include price escalators tied to the Consumer Price Index; however, the firm’s strong pricing power and multi-year contracts have historically mitigated margin compression. A sector-wide driver is the continued emphasis on workplace safety and compliance, which fuels demand for flame-resistant and personal-protective equipment across manufacturing and construction industries.
