WILMINGTON, Mass. () – UniFirst Corporation (NYSE: UNF), an industry leader in the supply and servicing of uniforms, workwear, and facility service products, has been named on Selling Power magazine’s 2020 list of the “50 Best Companies to Sell for.” This is the 17th consecutive year UniFirst has been included on the list.
To make their determination, the Selling Power research team evaluated companies in the following areas: compensation and benefits; hiring, sales training, and sales enablement; and customer retention.

“UniFirst is proud to once again be included on Selling Power’s annual “50 Best Companies to Sell For” list in 2020,” says UniFirst Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, David Katz. “We’ve built a world-class sales team who represent the very best of what UniFirst stands for. And, we’ve equipped them with the very best sales tools and technologies in the industry. Despite the recent challenges brought on by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the team has remained successful companywide in their efforts to create the best possible experience for our customers. I continue to be impressed with their achievements, year-in and year-out. Hats off to the entire team for this well-earned honor.”
