In
1938, Rudolph Landau began selling workman's uniforms to
service station and garage employees. Rudolph drove from
garage to garage calling on customers. As sales grew, Rudolph
was able to move the business out of his Model A Ford and into
a retail store. Rudolph then shifted the retail store's focus
from work clothing to health care clothing. The original
retail store was located in the heart of Memphis' medical
center. Rudolph built alliances with the Memphis hospitals so
that the store serviced all of the hospital employee's uniform
needs. Rudolph was responsible for the selling, his
wife Bessie took care of the books. In 1957, Rudolph
died. Later in '57, after Rudolph's son Nat, graduated
college, he came back to Memphis to help his mother run the
business.

Nat's vision was to take the business to another level-to
become a manufacturer. Originally the manufacturing 'division'
consisted of five seamstresses sewing in the basement of the
retail store. The manufacturing 'division' started by sewing
just a couple of basic labcoats. Slowly the business grew. As
it grew, Nat was able to take greater risks by developing
unique products. Over time, many of these were successful, and
the Company was able to expand into its own manufacturing
plant. By continually reinvesting in employees' development
and state of the art technology, the Company grew faster.
By Nat's setting a strong example of honesty, fairness, and
hard work the business thrived. In the early 1980's, Landau
was the first manufacturer to introduce scrubs in fashion
focused colors. Scrubs in a large variety of colors created a
new market for the healthcare industry. In the late 1980's,
Landau was the first manufacturer to introduce print designs.
Prints created a new market for the healthcare industry. The
business continued to grow and Landau expanded its
manufacturing facilities. Why have we grown? Landau believes
in innovation. How have we grown? Landau builds long term
relationships with our customers, employees, and suppliers
based on a dedication to excellence. Landau can only grow if
our employees, customers, and suppliers grow. We are very
proud of our many associates, customers, and vendors who have
been partners with us for more then 25 years. In 1992, a third
generation of Landaus entered the family business: Bruce and
Gregg. Nat, Bruce and Gregg, and more than 1600 Associates
base their partnerships on a commitment to personal and
professional integrity and excellent service. Based upon these
core values, Landau believes that our joint future is bright.
