HLSG, a portfolio company of The Sterling Group, has expanded its footprint in Texas by acquiring Texas Textile Services, a Houston‑based provider of healthcare linen and laundry services. The deal adds a robust network of collection, laundering, sterilization and delivery operations that serve hospitals and medical facilities across the state. This move follows HLSG’s recent purchase of Crescent Laundry in Iowa.

The acquisition strengthens HLSG’s position in a market where demand for reliable linen services remains high amid increasing regulatory scrutiny and cost pressures on hospitals. By integrating Texas Textile’s established client base, HLSG can leverage scale to negotiate better supply contracts and improve turnaround times. The move also positions the firm to capture growth in outpatient facilities and specialty care units.

With the acquisition, HLSG now commands a broader geographic reach and a deeper service offering, positioning it as a leading player in the U.S. healthcare linen market. Investors will likely view the deal as a strategic consolidation that could yield cost synergies and higher margins. The transaction underscores the ongoing trend of specialized service providers expanding through targeted acquisitions.
