History

  • Creation

    David Bernstein, together with his partner, Joe Hain, purchased a small store front with a number of small garages in the rear, along with a 1939 Chevrolet delivery van with a trailer set. David and Joe created the concept and framework for a company that would fill a need in the laundry and dry-cleaning trades. Thus, the business formerly known as United Chemical & Supply, now operating as United Fabricare Supply, Inc., was born.

  • Mr. Steve Hong formed United Fabricare Supply, Inc. in December 1983. The company was uniquely positioned for growth in the Southern California market including San Diego. The company was dedicated to making customer service the most important part of the business. Each time the service area expanded, the appropriate personnel and product lines were added to ensure that customers would have the finest products and service available. In July of 1993, having outgrown its 25,000 square foot warehouse, United Fabricare Supply, Inc. moved to a new 55,000 square foot facility.

  • August 1993, brought a new opportunity and challenge, as a major supplier in the laundry & dry-cleaning trade left the Southern California marketplace. United Fabricare Supply, Inc., under Mr. Hong’s leadership, was able to assimilate this additional business. It was soon apparent that in order to service the San Diego market, United Fabricare would have to open a facility in that area. This was accomplished in 1993 when United Cleaners Supply, Inc. was formed and a 25,000 square foot facility was opened in Poway, California. This was truly a bonus for customers, since they now have a local facility that they can depend on to provide prompt delivery of the goods and services they require to operate their businesses.

  • United Fabricare Supply, Inc. initiated service to the Las Vegas, Nevada area. In June of 1997, United Cleaners Supply, Inc./ Nevada became a reality when a new 35,000 square foot facility was opened in Henderson, Nevada.

  • United Fabricare Supply, Inc. added the Textile Division, a full service line of dyestuffs, auxiliary chemicals and other related textile products, and expanded further with an additional facility at 1301 W. Walnut Street in Compton, California.

  • brought an opportunity to expand our service to include the Northern California area. United Cleaners Supply, LLC was formed and acquired over 30,000 square feet of space in Santa Clara California. In 2011 United Cleaners Supply, LLC acquired the business assets of Workroom Supply which served Northern California, Lake Tahoe and Reno. In May of 2013, our Northern California operation moved from Santa Clara to Hayward. The new state of the art Hayward facility provides better and faster service to all customers in Northern California, Central Valley, Lake Tahoe and Reno.

  • United Fabricare Supply,Inc. acquired the Business assets of McGregor Supply of South Gate, California to provide service to more customers in the Southern California market.

  • with over 155,000 square feet of facilities stocked with the most comprehensive product lines available, United has clearly established its position as the overall industry leader.
