  ## History
  
  James and Gladys Sights of Henderson, Kentucky founded SITEX Corporation on January 1, 1961, known then as Industrial Uniform Services, Incorporated. With Rental Uniform, Inc. the organization reached into Southwest Kentucky, West Tennessee, Southeast Missouri, and Southern Illinois. During that same period, the Sights family established the operating name Sani-Clean Linen & Uniform Service as a "doing-business-as" (DBA) for Industrial Uniform Service to reflect their expanded offerings.
  
  In August 1995, the Sights family decided to change the business and official name to SITEX Corporation, with "SITEX" being short for Sights Textiles. In 2003, SITEX worked with J.E. Shekell to build a 72,000 square foot laundry facility in Henderson, Kentucky. Hart's Rental Uniform Services, LLC became part of SITEX in December 2008.
