DELTA TOWNSHIP — After outgrowing its Lansing-area facility, global apparel manufacturer Cintas Corporate Services Inc. now plans a $17 million expansion that’s expected to create 70 jobs.

Cintas (Nasdaq: CTAS), a provider of safety mats, restroom supplies and uniforms, will purchase land adjacent to its existing Delta Township facility and build a new industrial cleaning facility with office space, according to a statement.

“We are very happy to have Cintas’ continued commitment to Delta Township,” stated Kenneth R.
