Northern Uniform

Northern Uniform A local, family-owned Canadian company providing uniform and floor mat rental solutions since 1901. We’re family owned and proudly Canadian!

Since 1901, three generations of the Bisset family have been serving the rental
and commercial laundry market in Ontario. James Robert (JR) Bisset chose to focus on the uniform rental and mat rental needs of customers and incorporated Northern Uniform in 1972. The presence of a family owned and operated company like Northern Uniform in the marketplace offers customers a true choice because servic

e levels are higher, communication is better, and employees are more connected to the values of the company they represent. This synergy translates into competitive, if not lower, costs to the consumer.

Restroom and hygiene supplies don't usually make it onto the strategic priorities slide. They probably should.

For a typical Ontario facility, an integrated Hygiene Solutions program does several things at once:

✅ Eliminates ad-hoc supply runs and the stockouts that come with them
✅ Standardizes presentation across multiple sites or shifts
✅ Replaces a stack of small invoices with one consolidated, predictable bill
✅ Reduces touchpoints in shared spaces (touchless soap and paper, hands-free disposal)

We handle hand soaps, paper products, air care, feminine hygiene units, and dispenser maintenance. One vendor. One schedule. One call.

When we're handling your uniforms, we're handling a small but real part of your team's dignity and professionalism. That responsibility keeps us honest, careful, and grateful.

Thank you to every business that trusts us with that. It means more than you know. 💙

Did you know that slip-and-fall accidents are one of the most common (and costly) workplace injuries in Canada? 😬

A quality floor mat does three things at once:
✅ Keeps your entrance clean and dry
✅ Reduces slip hazards for employees AND customers
✅ Puts your brand front and centre the moment someone walks through your door

Our commercial mat rental service includes regular laundering and replacement, so your mats are always fresh, always functional, and always representing your brand well.

No big upfront investment. No storage headaches. Just clean, safe floors on a schedule that works for you.

👩🏻‍🍳 If your team uses kitchen towels, bar mops, shop rags, microfibre cloths, or aprons, there's a good chance you're managing more vendors and laundry than you need to.

Our linen and towel service rolls it all into one program: clean towels delivered, used ones picked up, professionally laundered, and back on schedule. Aprons stay sharp. Shop rags stay degreased. Microfiber cloths stay food-safe.

You stop counting inventory. We handle it.

Most of the work that matters doesn't get applause.

Loads of laundry folded after midnight. School forms signed at the kitchen table. The first one up, the last one to bed.
That's what motherhood looks like for a lot of the people we work with: managers, plant leads, safety coordinators, owners. They show up, do the work, and then go home and do it all over again. 💐

This Sunday, we hope you get a quiet moment that's just yours. Happy Mother's Day from Northern.

It's North American Occupational Safety and Health Week, and we're here for it.

For us, safety isn't a poster you hang in May and forget by June. It's the reason every garment in our P.A.S.S. (Protective Apparel Safety System) program is tracked, inspected, and maintained to a standard that holds up to a real audit. It's why our drivers double-check every delivery before it leaves the plant.

This week, we're sharing what goes into making safety apparel actually safe, and how we help Ontario operations stay compliant without adding work to your day.

Imagine this:
A customer walks into your business.
The floors are spotless. The restroom is stocked. And the air?
Clean. Fresh. Welcoming.
That's not luck. That's a system.

Northern Uniform's air freshener and restroom supply program means you never have to think about it again. We service it. We restock it. We keep it fresh, every visit.

Spring is here. Time to make your business smell like it. 🌷

❌ "Uniform rental is too expensive."
❌ "We'll lose track of everything."
❌ "Big national companies are more reliable."
❌ "Setup takes months."
❌ "We can handle it ourselves."

Sound familiar? These are the 5 myths we hear almost every week — and every single one of them is costing businesses across Northern Ontario real money.

Let's bust them.

MYTH 1 — "It's too expensive."
Most Northern Uniform programs work out to just a few dollars per employee per week. Less than what most companies spend on break room coffee. And through our exclusive P.A.S.S. Program, you can get fully compliant hi-vis workwear with zero upfront cost.

MYTH 2 — "We'll lose track of everything."
We use RFID technology through our NU-trak app. Every garment is tracked from your site to our facility and back. If something goes missing, we flag it before you even notice.

MYTH 3 — "Big national providers are safer bets."
A national provider gives you a ticket number and a call centre. We give you a local rep who knows your crew by name, shows up on schedule, and answers the phone when you call. We've been doing this since 1901 — and we're still family-owned.

MYTH 4 — "Setup takes months."
Most of our customers are fully outfitted within 30 days. We do the measuring, the ordering, the sizing, the delivery. You focus on running your operation.

MYTH 5 — "We can manage uniforms in-house during spring hiring."
Spring is your busiest growth season. New hires, new safety requirements, new sizes. The last thing your HR team needs right now is tracking down missing pants and faded hi-vis vests. That's what we're here for.
