Today Dempsey is represented by a diverse group of international experts based in five countries with the one goal of delivering the value. The way we do business has certainly changed over the last 66 years but the reason we do it remains the same.

Family Business

3rd Generation

In 2018, Dempsey Corporation marked an important milestone in the company’s history with the appointment of Frank E Dempsey’s grandson as the next CEO of the family business. He takes over from his father, Bowes Dempsey, who served as President from 1978, and moved to Executive Chairman.

Benjamin Dempsey, along with his two siblings, Frank and Bridgitte, represent the next generation of family in the business, and a commitment to the future as an independent family owned and operated business.

History

In 1954 Frank E. Dempsey founded his specialty chemical distribution company in Toronto with a handful of suppliers. He was quickly joined by several of his children, and expanded to Montreal and later into the US.
