Meet Pat Dempsey

Pat is the Co-Founder of Dempsey and currently serves as the Chairman of the Board. In 1959, Pat and his brother, Dick Dempsey, started out with just five employees in Dunmore, PA. In the decades to follow, their company would evolve into a proving ground for a variety of innovations in laundry technology. Pat’s unwavering dedication has positioned Dempsey as the industry leader in product quality.

The recipient of the textile rental industry’s highest honor, the “TRSA Lifetime Achievement Award”, Pat holds a B.S. in engineering from Lehigh University.

Clean Green TSRA Certified

The uniform and linen supply business is about more than delivering products. It’s about delivering on promises, which is exactly what Dempsey has done since 1959. Dempsey Uniform & Linen Supply is a local, independent supplier with active, family ownership. As independent market research has proven, independently-owned textile rental companies outperform the national chains in the areas of fair billing, product quality, service, personnel, and value for cost.

Continuing a legacy of service

Founded in 1959 by brothers Patrick and Richard Dempsey, Dempsey Uniform & Linen Supply was a logical outgrowth of their father’s towel and coverall supply business, established thirty-six years earlier. Today, Patrick’s son, PJ, and his daughter, Kristin, lead the company.

Dempsey Uniform is a highly respected industry leader.
