The longest-tenure contracts in the portfolio, and the least forgiving.
Healthcare Linen
Healthcare linen is processed under barrier-controlled conditions: a physical separation between soiled and clean sides of the plant, with documented workflow, validated thermal disinfection and traceability from collection to ward.
These are the lowest-churn contracts APXXO holds. Hospitals change linen providers rarely, because requalifying a plant is expensive and risky. For a partner facility that can meet the standard, it is the most stable volume available.
