OUR HISTORY
![]() Over a century ago... It was 1889 when George A. Steiner worked his way through high school delivering towels for a local laundry in Lincoln, Nebraska. Driven by his young, entrepreneurial spirit and foresight, he purchased the towel business for $50.80 - half down, half later. He called the business American Linen Supply and as it grew, he formed a partnership with his brother Frank. Together they made deliveries from a green & white hand cart they pushed through the city streets. It wasn't long before the hand cart was upgraded to a horse-drawn wagon. Business continued to boom and their Lincoln business expanded to Minneapolis, Minnesota and Vancouver, British Columbia in the early 1920's. STILL FAMILY OWNED Today, AmeriPride Services is still owned and actively managed by the founding family. We have grown into a multi-national organization operating over 190 production facilities and service centers throughout the United States and Canada.
