Prudential Overall Supply has broken ground on a new cleanroom and industrial laundry processing facility in Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n

The company is a US provider of industrial laundry, uniform rental and cleanroom garment processing services for sectors including semiconductor, pharmaceutical and advanced manufacturing.<\/p>\n

The facility at 1001 West Howard Lane is expected to open in 2028 and will expand Prudential\u2019s capacity to provide specialist laundry and garment-processing services to companies operating in controlled environments.<\/p>\n

The project was marked by a groundbreaking and ribbon-cutting ceremony on 1 October, attended by company representatives, local officials and the Textile Rental Services Association (TRSA).<\/p>\n

The facility is expected to comprise approximately 100,000 sqft, with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation recording 99,450 sqft for the project.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The regulatory filing describes the work as an interior remodel of an existing tilt-wall building, including offices, a production floor, cleanroom and storage areas.<\/p>\n

Prudential has described the development as a $40\u201345m investment, while TRSA said the company is investing more than $50m in the Austin community.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The project is expected to create more than 150 jobs, with operations targeted for the first quarter of 2028.<\/p>\n

Cleanroom laundry capacity<\/p>\n

The new operation will be Prudential\u2019s 38th US location and its ninth ISO Class 3 cleanroom laundry processing facility.<\/p>\n

It is planned to operate 24 hours a day and will have capacity to process approximately 82 million lb of industrial laundry and 20 million lb of cleanroom laundry annually, according to the company.<\/p>\n

The cleanroom products made in the facility will support industries including semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, bioscience, aerospace and electronics.<\/p>\n

The Austin facility will also provide industrial uniforms, towels, floor mats and other facility services alongside its cleanroom laundry operations.<\/p>\n

The project forms part of Prudential\u2019s wider expansion of its specialist cleanroom laundry network.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company opened a 68,000 sqft facility in Heath, Ohio<\/a>, in 2025 following a $35m investment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The facility became its eighth ISO Class 3 cleanroom laundry processing plant in the US, serving semiconductor, pharmaceutical, bioscience, aerospace and electronics customers.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Focus on resource efficiency<\/p>\n

The Austin facility is also expected to incorporate technologies and practices intended to reduce water and energy consumption.<\/p>\n

Prudential operates its Clean Green programme around water and energy efficiency, waste reduction and resource recovery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company says its high-capacity washing, drying and finishing equipment is designed to reduce resource use across its laundry operations.<\/p>\n

The Austin project continues a wider push by Prudential to improve the environmental performance of its cleanroom facilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2023, the company installed a 474kW solar array<\/a> at its Milpitas, California, cleanroom laundry facility.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The system was designed to generate around 724,000kWh of electricity annually and meet approximately 36% of the plant\u2019s energy needs.<\/p>\n

The Austin development will provide additional cleanroom laundry capacity in a region with growing semiconductor, pharmaceutical and advanced manufacturing activity.<\/p>\n

Prudential expects the new facility to be completed and operational in the first quarter of 2028.<\/p>\n
