CINTAS CORPORATION
Cintas Corporation is a Washington corporation, originally incorporated on 13 November 1986 and currently shown as active on the Washington Secretary of State’s business registry under registration number 601043714. Its principal executive offices are located at 6800 Cintas Boulevard in the Cincinnati, Ohio area (Mason, Ohio), and its common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker CTAS.
Cintas operates as a business services company, supplying corporate identity uniforms and related garments together with facility services such as entrance mats, restroom and hygiene supplies, first aid and safety products and training, fire protection inspection and testing, and document management and safety-data-sheet services. According to its own SEC filings, Cintas Corporation serves more than one million business customers, primarily in the United States, with additional operations in Canada and Latin America.
For the fiscal year ended 31 May 2026, Cintas Corporation reported consolidated revenue of $11.26 billion, an increase of 8.9% from $10.34 billion in fiscal 2025, and operating income of $2.61 billion, up from $2.36 billion a year earlier; diluted earnings per share were $4.91, compared with $4.40 in fiscal 2025. These figures are company-wide, consolidated results, as disclosed in the Form 10-K that Cintas Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on 29 July 2026.
On 11 March 2026, Cintas Corporation announced a definitive agreement to acquire UniFirst Corporation, a competing uniform and workwear services provider, in a transaction valued at approximately $5.5 billion and structured as $310.00 per UniFirst share in cash and stock. As of this review, the transaction had not closed; completion remained subject to UniFirst shareholder approval and customary regulatory clearances, with the companies targeting completion in the second half of calendar 2026.
Separately, Cintas Corporation has put forward a proposal, to be voted on at its annual shareholder meeting scheduled for 27 October 2026, to reincorporate the company from the State of Washington to the State of Delaware. As of this review that proposal had not yet been approved, and Cintas Corporation remained a Washington corporation.

Shareholders of Cintas Corporation
The share register available for Cintas Corporation lists five institutional holders of the company’s common stock, drawn from data verified on 4 September 2026 and covering the top 5 of 7 recorded positions. The disclosed holders are Vanguard Group Inc, Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1, Fidelity Concord Street Trust’s Fidelity 500 Index Fund, Fidelity Magellan Fund, and iShares Trust’s iShares Core S&P 500 ETF. All five are index funds or investment-management companies holding shares on behalf of their own fund investors, rather than corporate or individual owners of the underlying business – a pattern typical of a widely held, Nasdaq-listed company such as Cintas Corporation.
The recorded share quantities are broadly consistent with volumes such index-tracking funds are known to hold in a large-cap Nasdaq constituent. However, the percentage-of-class figures carried in this dataset do not reconcile with Cintas Corporation’s total shares outstanding of 400,169,561, as stated on the cover page of its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 31 May 2026, filed with the SEC on 29 July 2026. Recalculating each holding against that authoritative share count gives materially lower percentages than shown in the underlying dataset – for example, Vanguard Group Inc’s recorded 38,989,266 shares represent approximately 9.7% of shares outstanding, not the roughly 22% implied elsewhere in the dataset. These recalculated figures are presented here as an approximation only, are not a substitute for the company’s own beneficial-ownership disclosures, and should be read with the roughly three-month gap between the share-count date (30 June 2026) and the register’s verification date (4 September 2026) in mind.
Data availability
This disclosure is best treated as major-shareholders-only: it captures large index-fund and institutional positions of the kind separately reported to securities regulators, but it does not include the holdings of Cintas Corporation’s own directors and executive officers – including a substantial holding reported for Executive Chairman Scott D. Farmer, a member of the company’s founding family – which are instead disclosed in the company’s annual proxy statement rather than in this share register. Because every listed holder is an investment company rather than a natural person, no Ultimate Beneficial Owner can be identified from this register alone.

Directors and officers of Cintas Corporation
Washington’s corporate registry lists five active governing persons for Cintas Corporation – a generic filing category used in the state’s annual report rather than a breakdown of formal corporate titles. Cross-checked against Cintas Corporation’s own SEC filings, the five correspond to: Scott D. Farmer, Executive Chairman of the Board; Todd M. Schneider, Chief Executive Officer; D. Brock Denton, Executive Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel; J. Michael Hansen, formerly Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and Jared S. Mattingley, Vice President, Treasurer and Investor Relations. No former or resigned officers are separately flagged in the state filing, and no appointment or resignation dates are recorded there. The state registry does not disclose nationality or country of residence for any of the five, and as of its last synchronisation it had not been updated to reflect Mr Hansen’s departure from the Chief Financial Officer role or to add more recently appointed officers.
Recent officer changes
- J. Michael Hansen retired as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective 31 May 2025; Scott A. Garula was appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective 1 June 2025 (source: Cintas Corporation announcement and Form 8-K, 4 April 2025).
- James N. Rozakis was appointed President and Chief Operating Officer effective 1 August 2026, a role separate from the Chief Executive Officer position held by Todd M. Schneider (source: Cintas Corporation 2026 proxy statement).
- D. Brock Denton’s title was updated to Executive Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel in July 2026, having previously held the title of Senior Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel (source: Cintas Corporation 2026 proxy statement).
Data availability
Officer information for Washington-incorporated companies is filed as part of the state’s annual report and typically covers a limited set of governing persons rather than a full corporate officer roster; it does not include nationality, residence, or appointment and resignation dates. This overview therefore relies on Cintas Corporation’s own SEC filings and public announcements, current as of September 2026, to identify formal titles and recent changes. Neither Scott A. Garula (current Chief Financial Officer) nor James N. Rozakis (current President and Chief Operating Officer) appear in the state governing-persons filing reviewed for this profile.

Group Structure
Group structure of Cintas Corporation
Cintas Corporation sits at the top of its own recorded group structure: no parent company is shown for it in the dataset reviewed, consistent with its status as an independently listed Nasdaq company (ticker: CTAS). Beneath it, the underlying corporate-linkage data lists 40 directly recorded subsidiaries and a further 15 entities held beneath four of those subsidiaries, for 55 related entities in total, spanning five jurisdictions: the United States (46 entities), Mexico (4), Canada (3), Singapore (1) and Switzerland (1). Many of the entity names are consistent with businesses publicly known to have been acquired or established by Cintas over time, including Cintas Corporation No. 1 and No. 3, G&K Services LLC (acquired by Cintas in 2017), Zee Medical entities (Cintas’ first aid and safety business), Huebsch Laundry Company, Cintas Canada Limited and Empresa Cintas de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. Ownership and voting percentages are not disclosed for any of these entities in the dataset, and the list should not be read as complete, since it reflects only entities visible through the source’s own filing coverage.

Recent structural changes
On 11 March 2026, Cintas Corporation announced a definitive agreement to acquire UniFirst Corporation, a competing workwear and uniform-services provider, for approximately $5.5 billion, payable as $310.00 per UniFirst share in cash and stock. As of this review the transaction had not closed and UniFirst was not yet a Cintas Corporation subsidiary; completion remained subject to UniFirst shareholder approval and regulatory clearance, with closing targeted for the second half of calendar 2026.
Data availability
The corporate-linkage dataset for Cintas Corporation is partial: it identifies a large number of related entities and their jurisdictions but does not disclose ownership percentages, voting control, or the operating status of any listed entity, and may not capture every subsidiary in jurisdictions where the underlying registry does not require equivalent filings. The dataset also includes a second, separately numbered entry also named Cintas Corporation No. 2 elsewhere in the structure; this write-up has not attempted to resolve whether that reflects the same legal entity recorded twice or two distinct entities, since that could not be independently confirmed.

Who owns CINTAS CORPORATION?
Five shareholders are currently on record for CINTAS CORPORATION, reflecting the stock ledger maintained under state corporate law (e.g. §219 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) rather than a public filing. The largest of these is Vanguard Group Inc, holding 22.1% — the largest recorded stake — followed by Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 at 5.1%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes. Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.
Who is CINTAS CORPORATION's UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner)?
Every shareholder recorded for CINTAS CORPORATION is itself a company rather than a natural person, so no Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) is identified at this level; establishing one would require tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn.

CINTAS CORPORATION has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 40 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 3 jurisdictions. Those 40 subsidiaries span United States, Mexico, Canada jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. Four of the 40 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
