Dempsey Acquires Capital Uniform Services – Expands Service Area to Include NY’s Hudson Valley

Dempsey Uniform & Linen Supply, an independent, industry-leading supplier of uniform and restaurant linen services, announces the purchase of Capital Uniform Services of Poughkeepsie, New York, from founders Dan and Elizabeth Morris. Founded in 1979, Capital Uniform has spent nearly five decades earning the trust of Hudson Valley businesses – a reputation Dempsey is proud to carry forward.

Son of Dempsey’s late Founder Patrick J. Dempsey, PJ Dempsey is the President of Dempsey Uniform & Linen Supply, family-owned and operated since 1959. He explains what’s next: “Capital Uniform’s customers will continue to receive personal service from members of the Morris family who are staying on to represent Dempsey. Those same friendly faces are now backed by Dempsey’s operational strengths and resources, commitment to innovation, and continuing integration of technologies that elevate our customers’ experience.” Dempsey’s capacity will enable the company to serve a higher volume of commercial, industrial, and hospitality businesses in the Hudson Valley, expanding service south along the Hudson River from Hyde Park through Poughkeepsie, Beacon, and Newburgh, to White Plains and Yonkers in the New York metro.

Expanding on Capital Uniform’s offerings, Dempsey provides quality uniforms, table linens, towels, facility supplies, floor mats, and more. The company’s proprietary technology stack includes SmartScan℠ RFID Uniform Tracking for real-time inventory visibility, and online CIS™ Customer Portals with transparent billing and budgeting options. Kristin Dempsey, Vice President, says, “We’re privileged to work with Michelin-starred restaurants that trust us to deliver a level of service that aligns with their commitment to excellence. Our automated linen stain detection and flatwork recovery systems help ensure that we deliver on those promises.”

In addition to the Corporate Office in Jessup, PA, Dempsey Uniform has six additional locations, servicing customers in Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. The Capital Uniform acquisition is a natural expansion of that coverage area, enlarging Dempsey’s footprint in New York’s Southern Tier and New York City to include the Hudson Valley region.

In 2012, Dempsey Uniform was the first company in the United States to achieve TRSA Clean Green® Certification. Since then, the company has earned TRSA Hygienically Clean Food Service Certification, been identified as one of the Top 40 Fastest-Growing Businesses in Northeastern PA, and been recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in Pennsylvania for two years in a row. For the Dempsey family, doing business has always included environmental stewardship and resource conservation, charitable giving, and community engagement. Committed to continuing his father’s legacy of service, PJ plays an active role in the industry, serving on the Board of Directors of the Textile Rental Services Association (TRSA) and the CSC Network, the nation’s largest alliance of independent laundries.

With an expanded territory comes the need for an expanded team. According to Katharine Dempsey Spanish, the company’s Director of Digital Transformation, “We are always on the lookout for talented individuals and go to great lengths to make sure people feel connected, challenged, and proud to be a part of our family of employees. For those interested in a career with Dempsey, opportunities are listed on our website.”
