Cintas Recieves Royal Caribbean's Supplier Excellence Award

May 2004 - Jack Williams, President and COO of Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, recognized Cintas Corporation with the company’s highest award for vendor quality, the Supplier Excellence Award. Cintas, along with six additional suppliers, was selected from a pool of hundreds because of their outstanding performance in product quality, service, and price.

“Out of all the suppliers I work with, Cintas stands apart from the rest,” said Lori Kane, Royal Caribbean Purchasing Supervisor. “There is more required from them than most vendors. The product and quality is good, the service is excellent, and their prices are consistent from year to year. They provide what no other uniform supplier can within the scope of our projects.”

“We’re always trying to achieve our principle objective – to exceed expectations,” said Cintas General Manager, Paul Santagata. “The award reflects our Cintas culture and our employee-partners’ commitment to customer satisfaction.”

Over the past ten years, Cintas has provided uniforms to virtually every department on board Royal Caribbean ships. From housekeeping aprons to the captain’s dress whites, every ship is outfitted with Cintas uniforms.
