The premise was – and continues to be - spare no expense in providing the finest fabric care possible. By recruiting outstanding individuals at every level of the organization, they set the standard for technical expertise paired with world-class customer service. Over the years Hallak Cleaners has been repeatedly recognized by major print and mass media outlet in the Metropolitan – as well as throughout the world - for its tireless dedication to excellence.
From its humble beginnings in a 2000 sq. ft. space on Second Avenue, the operation has grown to occupy 15000 sq. ft. of production, retail and office space. In 2010 the production facility underwent a complete redesign along with the introduction of highly sophisticated garment tracking and handling technologies. The efforts resulted in Hallak Cleaners winning the National Grand Prize in the 50th Annual Plant Design Competition of 2011, by American Drycleaner magazine.
In June 2007, they became the first licensed GreenEarth® Cleaner in Manhattan and have garnered numerous awards for environmental awareness – both from the industry and government regulatory agencies. In 2008, after an intense review process they were awarded four Green Leaves by The Green Cleaners Council, naming us a Certified Green Cleaner. They also hold the “Certified Environmental Drycleaner” certification from The Dry-cleaning & Laundry Institute and continue to explore every avenue of the “Reduce, Re-use & Recycle” paradigm in their commitment to environmental stewardship – and are consistent “early-adopters” of new technologies as they become available.
