Description: VSTS Vestis January 19, 2026
Vestis Corporation (NYSE: VSTS) rents and sells uniforms and workplace supplies across the United States and Canada, covering a broad product set-from standard shirts, pants, and flame-resistant garments to specialty cleanroom apparel, shoes, and accessories. Its ancillary services include managed restroom supplies, first-aid kits, safety products, floor mats, towels, and linens, serving diverse end-markets such as manufacturing, hospitality, retail, food processing, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, automotive, and cleanroom operations. Founded in 1936, the company is headquartered in Roswell, Georgia.
Key operating metrics (FY 2024) show revenue of roughly $1.2 billion, with a 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8 % driven largely by steady demand in healthcare and cleanroom segments. EBITDA margin hovers around 12 %, reflecting efficient asset utilization but also sensitivity to labor-cost inflation, which currently runs 4-5 % YoY in the U.S. service sector. A primary macro driver is the ongoing shortage of skilled labor in the U.S. and Canada, prompting many firms to outsource uniform and facility-service needs-a trend that underpins Vestis’s recurring-revenue model.
