Cintas

Construction companies buy uniforms at $90 each. A crew of 50 needs 75 uniforms, 8,000 up front. Sinters rents at 30 cents per day, $240 monthly. Over time, rental costs more than owning. Yet they choose rental. Ownership is not the offer. Simplicity is. Sinters converts capex into OPEX. Factory managers do not want laundry operations. Hospital administrators do not want inventory. They call sinters and uniforms arrive weekly. The fee becomes invisible because alternatives require hiring people. Gross margins exceed 45%. Sinters owns washing infrastructure, distribution trucks, inventory. A company buying uniforms generates no recurring interaction.
