SINCE 1989, Gouge Linen has been a family owned and operated commercial laundry and industry leader. Gouge provide linen and garment services to businesses throughout Victoria and country New South Wales. 

Gouge is locally owned and operated by brothers Rob and Phil Priestly and over the past 25 years, the organisation has gone from strength to strength and is a major employer in Mooroopna and across Victoria. They are passionate about employee diversity and have a strong focus on family. 

They pride themselves on their ability to provide quality customer service and premium products and deliver these with reliability and integrity.

The future at Gouge is bright as they are about to embark on a period of strong growth through increasing their production in Mooroopna, which will result in more employment opportunities and benefits for the local community. This investment will further improve quality control, and hourly production. Gouge are also investing in more vehicles to meet the increased demand.

Maintaining a safe and reliable service for customers during the pandemic has been a challenge, however ensuring hospitals have had supplies when under pressure has been a vital part of the COVID response.

Investment in leading edge technology pertaining to quality control, tracking of linen and fleet vehicles as well as environmental responsibilities of solar, water, gas and plastics recycling means Gouge will remain industry leaders in their field. 

Gouge have been leaders in their field for over 25 years and maintain commitment to outcomes that benefit the local community, customers and the environment.
