The plant is one of five locations for Tulsa, Oklahoma-based Linen King, which processes more than 50million pounds of textile products annually for hospitals, medical and hospitality facilities in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Tennessee.

HLAC is an independent, non-profit organisation that inspects and accredits laundries that process reusable textiles for hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare facilities.

The Linen King/Springdale facility, which services Northwest Arkansas, is accredited until 2020, having successfully passed a voluntary inspection relating to its complete textile processing cycle.
