The partnership marks the first time that this garment technology will be offered outside of a retail setting in uniform rental garments across a variety of industrial workspaces, the companies said in a joint press release.

The waistbands are designed to adjust and recover, providing the same fit and comfort from the start of the day to the end.

“Bringing innovative new technologies to market in the uniform rental space is one of the ways we are striving to improve the daily work life of our consumers,” said Art Wake, president of Aramark Uniform Services. “Every advancement we champion has the end goal of improving quality for our clients. Talon’s patented waistband technology will make our rental clothing the premium choice for fit and satisfaction.”

“This partnership with Aramark is an honour,” said Larry Dyne, CEO of Talon International. “The Adjustec team, also known to the market as Tekfit, works hard to constantly innovate our proprietary stretch technology, creating a product that helps keep workers comfortable, dry and cool. For a uniform supply company, like Aramark, this allows them to provide some of the most comfortable work clothes available.”

Aramark provides uniform rental and uniform leasing services to more than 400,000 customer accounts nationwide from over 350 service locations and distribution centres across the US. Aramark's full-service employee uniform solution includes design, sourcing and manufacturing, customisation, cleaning, maintenance and delivery.

The upgrade in comfort will only add to the high-quality uniforms available to rent, lease or purchase, the release said.
