Description

Martinizing has been a trusted name in the dry-cleaning industry for over 60 years, known for its innovation and leadership. Established in 1949 by Henry Martin, the Martinizing system revolutionized the industry by demonstrating that smaller, full-service dry-cleaning plants could efficiently provide fast, cost-effective services. This groundbreaking approach made Martinizing the pioneer of on-premises, quick dry cleaning. Today, Martinizing franchisees operate over 350 locations across the United States and internationally.
