About North Star Linen & Uniform Services Inc.
North Star Linen & Uniform Services Inc. is a company that specializes in industrial laundry, linen and uniform rental/maintenance, and the supply of cleaning and janitorial products for businesses. They serve the Highway 11 corridor in Northern Ontario—from Kapuskasing to Longlac, Hearst, Cochrane, Kirkland Lake, and beyond—and maintain regional depots and daily distribution services. The business was founded in 1950 as Kapuskasing Laundry and later renamed North Star Linen in the 1970s. Today, it operates multiple divisions: uniform rental (jackets, workwear, protective gear), housekeeping linen services (towels, sheets, table linens), floor and mat services, and dry-cleaning of specialty items. The company is family-run: Luc Belanger leads plant operations, while Michel Belanger manages sales and distribution routes (with a driver team covering the region). North Star Linen highlights that their custom rental and maintenance programs help businesses reduce costs by eliminating the need for large upfront purchases, inventory management, and uniform repairs.
