Business of the Week: Huebsch Services

Huebsch Services is your local independent service provider for work uniforms, floor mats, restroom products, and cleaning supplies. Huebsch was founded in 1891 when John and Joseph Huebsch, the sons of German immigrants, saw an opportunity in the boom town atmosphere of a Wisconsin logging town, and founded a commercial laundry service company in Eau Claire. Today, Huebsch is in its fourth generation of local family ownership with our current President and CEO Jim Vaudreuil. Throughout this time, we have remained committed to our neighbors and customers in the Chippewa Valley. Our neighborhood grew significantly in 1985 with the establishment of an additional office and production facility in Eagan, MN. We currently service over 6,000 customers in Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, La Crosse, Rice Lake, Minneapolis, Saint Paul and the surrounding areas. 

Our mission is to provide our customers convenience and peace of mind. In doing so, we have three core values that guide us.

We are Honest. We approach every decision and interaction ethically and with integrity.

We are Hungry. We are eager to learn and improve both ourselves and our company. We take initiative, find ways to innovate, and follow through on our commitments. 

We are Humble. We admit mistakes, ask for help, and communicate openly. We demonstrate care and put the needs of our co-workers, customers, company, and community before our individual needs. 

We keep these simple philosophies in mind as we service our customers today while we also look ahead to the future. We have developed patented technologies that allow for custom uniform processing, our floor matting solutions support the unique needs of our customers, and we have made significant investments in sustainable practices that show respect for our community.

In November of 2016, Huebsch installed a 100kw solar energy system at our Eau Claire facility.  This solar panel system provides one third of the energy needs for our Eau Claire facility. It allows us to co-generate energy and contribute to overall sustainability as well.  We were recently recognized by the TRSA (Textile Rental Services Association) with the Clean Green Innovation Award for this solar initiative and commitment to sustainability. In addition, we continue to be a sponsor of the Eau Claire Chamber of Commerce’s Green Sustainable Initiative. We strive to find green solutions that both make a difference locally and improve our planet.

In putting our community first, Huebsch contributed more than $35,000 in 2017 to local organizations in addition to our ongoing commitment to employee volunteerism. We take great pride in giving back to the communities we serve.

With 127 years of service under our belt, it’s easy to live in the past. Instead, we just choose to honor it. We are still the friendly face that walks into your business every week, we still answer the phone when a customer calls, and we still give honest consistent pricing.

Now that you know a little more about us, we would love to get to know you better. Ask your neighbors about us. Give us a call. Stop by for a tour. We’re here to help.
