We’re excited to kick off our Company Spotlight series with Gallagher Uniform.

Founded in 1893 in Detroit as “Detroit Waste Works, Inc.,” Gallagher Uniform opened a second plant in Battle Creek in 1937 to service Kellogg Company uniforms. While Detroit remained the primary location until 1975, Battle Creek became Gallagher’s official home after the Detroit operation was sold. Since then, their focus on customer satisfaction, personalized service, and a wide selection of workwear has earned them a trusted name in the industry for over 130 years.

Now five generations strong, this family-owned business provides custom uniforms, safety apparel, corporate wear, and facility services like floor mats, towels, and restroom supplies. They serve a wide range of industries with their rentals, including healthcare, pharmaceutical, food manufacturing, automotive, and general manufacturing, across West and Mid-Michigan, Ann Arbor, Detroit, and Northern Indiana. Their focus? Durability, comfort, and professionalism.

Gallagher Uniform has built a reputation as a reliable partner for businesses to present a polished image while keeping employees looking and feeling their best.

Gallagher isn’t just dedicated to its customers, they’re deeply invested in their people and community, too. From supporting local organizations like the United Way and the Battle Creek Community Foundation to expanding their facility for greater efficiency, they’re always working to grow the right way. They’re also proud members of key industry networks

like Apparel Services Network, CSC Network, and TRSA, so they’re always learning, innovating, and bringing those best practices back to the businesses they serve. Their dedication to fostering a robust company culture, emphasizing the employee experience, reflects their foundational values. This commitment guarantees that, alongside delivering a high-quality product, they also offer an exceptional place to work right here in Battle Creek.
