Company Submissions Result in Two Prestigious Awards

Lion Uniform Group, a G&K Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: GKSR) company, has received two “Image of the Year Awards” from the National Association of Uniform Manufacturers and Distributors (NAUMD). These annual awards recognize distinctive image solutions in the corporate uniform and apparel industry.

Lion Uniform Group achieved the retail “Image of the Year Award” for the Shell Oil Company uniform program and the transportation “Image of the Year Award” for the Delta Air Lines uniform program. The company also received a nomination for its work with Bryant Park in the Parks and Amusement category.

“We’re honored to receive these prestigious awards for our work with these remarkable customers,” said Jeanna Peifer, vice president and general manager. “Our strong capabilities, combined with understanding our customers’ unique image needs, provide a collaborative approach to outfitting our customers with high-performance uniform programs that are fashionable and functional. Receiving these awards continues to demonstrate that our innovative solutions deliver a professional look in enhancing our customers’ image, brand and identity in the workplace.”

Lion Uniform Group worked closely with Shell Oil Company marketing to develop this program based on customer feedback. This feedback gave inspiration to design, manage and fulfill a durable uniform that heightens brand awareness and presents a consistent professional image globally. The Shell Oil Company has been a customer of the Lion Uniform Group for over 70 years.

Lion Uniform Group, in strong collaboration with Delta Air Lines and world-renowned designer Richard Tyler, launched Delta’s new uniform program in 2006. More recently, Lion Uniform Group was instrumental in helping integrate more than 11,000 pre-merger Northwest Airlines employees to the Delta uniform program. The successful support of this major initiative was another important milestone in serving customers within the transportation industry.
