ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Typical members of the Textile Rental Services Association (TRSA) continued in 2009 their year-after-year streak of outperforming the economy, the association’s 2010 Industry Performance Report indicates.
Compared with the nation’s real GDP decline of 2.6%, a company with a classic TRSA business profile (dominated by linen and healthcare work) lost only 1.8% in revenue, TRSA reports. And profits increased—from 4.8% of sales to 5.9%.
