About Balfurd
Our humble beginnings began in 1927. We started as a family business – and we’ve kept it that way!
The truth is that family-owned businesses can provide better service because we care more.
We believe in treating people the way we’d want to be treated. We’ve been doing it for almost 100 years – so we must be on to something!
How do we do it?
We process well over 1 million pounds of laundry per month.
This wouldn’t be possible without two things – our dedication to the newest technology and the dedication of our employees.
We have a 50,000 square foot facility loaded with the latest and greatest technology to increase production and reduce utilities – this helps keeps our outstanding service affordable.
Every one of our employees takes tremendous pride in knowing that what they do every day ends up helping our customers convey a positive image.
Our goal is simple: get the best people, provide the best service!
It’s a family affair
Balfurd has grown over the years and passed down from generation to generation keeping the same strong values and core beliefs over the years.
