Professional Management
The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry operates under some of the most stringent hygiene and contamination control requirements. Employee workwear — lab coats, cleanroom garments, aprons, coveralls, and ESD (electrostatic discharge) uniforms — must be laundered to exacting standards to prevent product contamination and maintain quality.
