Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS) today announced it has been recognized as one of the “2017 Best Corporations for Veteran’s Business Enterprises” by the National Veteran-Owned Business Association (NaVOBA). The award, which honors businesses dedicated to supporting veteran-owned organizations, was accepted by Cintas at HeroZona, a week-long Veterans Day event that provides opportunities for direct access and exposure to contracting and programming specialists.
