Apparel Magazine, a leading resource for global apparel executives, featured UniFirst in the No. 13 position this year, up three places from its No. 16 ranking in 2010.

UniFirst, which has a facility at 8 Industrial Park in Nashua, joins Nike (No. 7), J. Crew (No. 14), Timberland (No. 17), Under Armour (No. 20), Abercrombie & Fitch (No. 34), and Levi Strauss (No. 40) on the magazine’s list.
