About United Fabricare Supply
History
In April of 1946, David Bernstein, together with his
partner, Joe Hain, purchased a small store front with a number of small
garages in the rear, along with a 1939 Chevrolet delivery van with a trailer
set. David and Joe created the concept and framework for a company that
would fill a need in the laundry and dry-cleaning trades. A company that
would provide excellent service, quality products and exceptional industry
knowledge, to an industry that was experiencing substantial growth and
dynamic changes. Thus, the business formerly known as United Chemical &
Supply, now operating as United Fabricare Supply, Inc., was born.
Mr. Steve Hong purchased United
Fabricare Supply, Inc. in December 1983. The company was uniquely positioned for
growth in the Los Angeles and Southern California market. With Mr. Hong's vision
and leadership, United Fabricare Supply, Inc. began to expand its service area
into all of Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Imperial, Santa Barbara, Ventura,
San Luis Obispo, Tulare, Kern and San Diego counties. The company was dedicated
to making customer service the most important part of the business. Each time
the service area expanded, the appropriate personnel and product lines were
added to ensure that customers would have the finest products and service
available. In July of 1993, having outgrown its 25,000 square foot warehouse,
United Fabricare Supply, Inc. moved to a new 55,000 square foot facility.
August 1993, brought a new
opportunity and challenge, as a major supplier in the laundry & dry-cleaning
trade left the Southern California marketplace. United Fabricare Supply, Inc.,
under Mr. Hong's leadership, was able to assimilate this additional business. It
was soon apparent that in order to service the San Diego market, United
Fabricare would have to open a facility in that area.
This was accomplished in 1993 when United Cleaners Supply,
Inc. was formed and a 25,000 square foot facility was opened in Poway,
California. This was truly a bonus for customers, since they now have a local
facility that they can depend on to provide prompt delivery of the goods and
services they require to operate their businesses.
In December of 1996, United
Fabricare Supply, Inc. initiated service to the Las Vegas, Nevada area by
providing weekly deliveries from the facility in Poway. California. It was
quickly apparent that the dynamic, growing Las Vegas area would require a
facility of its own. In June of 1997, United Cleaners Supply, Inc. Nevada became
a reality when a new 35,000 square foot facility was opened in Henderson,
Nevada.
In 1998, United Fabricare Supply,
Inc. added a full service line of dyestuffs and related textile products and
expanded further with an additional facility in Compton, California.
Today, with over 120,000 square feet of facilities stocked
with the most comprehensive product lines available, United has clearly
established its position as the overall industry leader. In the very near
future, United will be able to provide the opportunity for customers to learn
more about products & services and to place orders for supplies via e-commerce
on this web-site.
