History - Keeping Promises Since 1959.

The uniform & linen supply business is about more than delivering products. It's about delivering on promises, which is exactly what Dempsey has done since 1959.

All In the Family

Dempsey Linen Supply was founded in 1959 by Patrick and Richard Dempsey. It was a logical outgrowth of their father's towel and coverall supply business which was established thirty-six years earlier.

Customer Satisfaction Fuels Growth

For two years in a row, Dempsey Uniform & Linen Supply was named one of the Best Places to Work in Pennsylvania. Such employee satisfaction has lead to customer satisfaction, which has lead to rapid growth for Dempsey. Since it's founding, Dempsey Uniform & Linen Supply has become a leading uniform and linen supplier, servicing seven states in the Mid-Atlantic. Dempsey has been listed as one of the "Top 40 Fastest Growing Business" in Northeastern Pennsylvania. In 2006, Dempsey opened a state-of-the-art processing facility that received both local and industry acclaim. As a family business, Dempsey is dedicated to exceptional customer service. In independent market research, customers describe Dempsey as "easy to do business with" and "responsive".

Technology Leadership

Dempsey is an innovator in our industry because we have always invested in opportune technologies for our business. We were the first in our market with handheld computers and we are still the only company to use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips for inventory tracking.

Dempsey has -- and will continue to -- leverage technologies that control our customers' costs and enhance their service experience.

Financial Strength

Dempsey has grown rapidly, yet responsibly, over the past five years. Through five strategic acquisitions, a well-developed management team, and excellent banking relationships, Dempsey has welcomed hundreds of new customers and enhanced existing customer relationships.

Dempsey is also a member of the CSC Network, the nation's largest alliance of independent launderers. Through the CSC Network, Dempsey gains unsurpassed buying power and benchmark metrics.

Environmental Leadership

Dempsey Uniform & Linen Supply is committed to a sustainable future through environmental stewardship and conservation of the earth's natural resources. Our goals are to reduce the direct and indirect impact of our company through leadership by example, recycling textiles and conserving resources. With these goals, Dempsey has become a leader in both the textile rental industry and our local community in preserving our environment.
