About Us

Founded on
Partnership, Driven
by Excellence

Westport Linen Services exists because two Louisiana entrepreneurs saw an opportunity to serve their healthcare community better. Twenty-five years later, that commitment still guides every decision we make.

Our Foundation

When John Landry and Eddie Lefeaux started Westport Linen Services in 2000, they envisioned something different for Louisiana's healthcare facilities.

They recognized that local hospitals and medical practices deserved more than adequate linen service. They deserved a partner genuinely invested in their success.Their vision centered on delivering the highest quality hygienically clean medical textiles paired with unwavering attention and hospitality.

The corporate dissatisfaction they witnessed in their community revealed a gap: healthcare facilities needed a provider who understood that clean linen directly impacts patient care, staff morale, and operational efficiency.

Westport's history reflects the pride of two Louisianans continually partnering with healthcare leaders to serve communities, heal patients, and innovate together for a stronger Gulf Coast healthcare system.

Growth Powered
by Active Ownership

Unlike national competitors managed from distant corporate headquarters, Westport's ownership remains deeply embedded in Louisiana and actively engaged in day-to-day operations. This isn't a business model. It's how we believe partnerships should work.

Our leadership doesn't delegate critical decisions to regional managers or account representatives. When you work with Westport, you connect directly with people who have authority to solve problems, adjust services, and make commitments. Decisions happen quickly because the people running operations are the same people who built this company.

This active ownership model ensures partners receive personal attention and consistent service. Our commitment to operational excellence and customer satisfaction means your concerns become our immediate priorities, and leadership stays directly engaged to support seamless growth, dependable solutions, and responsive support across the Gulf Coast.
