Fashion Cleaners Tour Hugo Boss Plant
Kermit Engh, owner, joined 30 other drycleaners from American’s Best Cleaners on October 4th for a tour
of the 300,000-sq.-ft. plant where Hugo Boss, maker of fine men’s and women’s clothing, makes 80 percent of its men’s
suits for the U.S. market.
“It was amazing to see the phenomenal amount of equipment necessary in making Hugo Boss’s clothing,” says Engh. “It
is always worthwhile to stay abreast of how quality garments are made and bring information home that we can use when
preserving our customer’s garments.”
Engh truly appreciates the quality of the Boss machinery. Fashion Cleaners has also invested in state-of-the-art
finishing equipment in its own dry cleaning plant, because Engh recognizes that the sophisticated technology maximizes
his customers’ investments in their wardrobe.
