by jbs020110 d5 — February 3, 2010—Procter & Gamble Professional, the away-from-home division of Procter & Gamble, recently announced an award to supply on-premise laundry products, equipment and services at special pricing to members within Premier, Inc., an alliance of 2,200 nonprofit hospitals and more than 64,000 non-acute healthcare facilities throughout the United States.
P&G Professional’s on-premise laundry program products include Tide, Downy, P&G Pro Line and Clorox. The company says its near-neutral pH formulations for linens, gowns and towels are designed to be safe and gentle on the skin of patients and staff.
This marks the third P&G Professional contracted supplier agreement reached with Premier in the last year. The previous contracts cover housekeeping and cleaning products as well as alkaline battery and flashlight products. The 36-month license is effective immediately.
