Production Clinic 2025

Thank you

Lace House Linen - Petaluma CA

A Great Success!

The 2025 Plant tour was hosted by board member Rodrigo Patron and his stellar team at Lace House Linen in Petaluma, California. Lace House Linen, while celebrating their 110th anniversary provided an exceptional tour complete with breakfast and lunch.

Members were invited to share pastries and warm coffee on the rainy January morning. The rain did not dampen the upbeat mood.

The team at Lace House Linen gave a warm greeting and kicked off the tour with a sing a long of God Bless America led by owner Dan Libarle. The positive mood was infectious, and members were eager to view that plant and its operations.

Members got to walk through 7 stations which included the Wastewater, Compressors and Softener, Mechanical Room, Conventional Washfloor and Soil Department, CBW Tunnel and Wash House Chemicals, Production Floor, Tie out and Vehicle Fleet, and the Office. Members got to get one on one information from Garrat Callahan Chemicals, Milnor, ECOLAB, Tingue, Colmac, and Felins.

Richard Marzo the VP of Marketing and sales held station 1 of Wastewater, Compressors and Softer and displayed the quality of water. Members learned that Lace House Linen Supply will be awarded the Large Facility of the Year for Northern California by the CWEA at the Annual CWEA Pretreatment, Pollution Prevention and Stormwater Conference due to their proactive steps to meet current pollution control standards. The basis for the award is their successful efforts in energy reuse and their innovative actions to treat the facility’s wastewater to the City’s required standards. Congratulations Lace House Linen! As seen by Richard, the water can be good enough to drink!

Thank you to Rodrigo Patron, Daniel Libarle, Phoebe Ellis, Nicole Marzo, Richard Marzo, Oscar Deniz, Melinda Bauer, Elisabeth Ordaz, Claudioa Haro, Ivan Carreno, Ricky Macias, Brandon Seiler and the rest of the incredible staff at Lace House for an outstanding tour and generous hospitality!
