BISMARCK, N.D. — Uniform rental and linen supplier AmeriPride Services recently hosted U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) at the company’s local production facility here. The congressman toured the recently expanded 22,000-square-foot plant and met with Bismarck General Manager Rick Siebels and Fargo (N.D.) General Manager Peg Knudson.
“As a strategic partner to many local businesses and a major employer in the area, we were glad to have Rep. Cramer visit our facility and learn more about our business,” says Siebels. “We have been serving North Dakota communities for over 80 years, and we are closely tied to the oil and gas, manufacturing, hospitality and healthcare industries. It was nice to be able to share our successes and challenges with the congressman.”
Siebels says AmeriPride has experienced accelerated growth over the past few years, particularly in providing flame-resistant apparel and safety gear to the oilfields. In addition to a service center in Glendive, AmeriPride has expanded its Bismarck production facility and opened new service centers in Minot and Dickinson.
“AmeriPride helps many businesses in the area save time and money, improve their image and keep employees safe,” Rep. Cramer says. “They are a great business partner for North Dakota companies and good stewards of the environment, and we look forward to supporting the organization in its future growth.”
Rep. Cramer serves on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and is assigned to several subcommittees, including Communications and Technology, Environment and the Economy, and Oversight and Investigations. He also serves as co-chair of the Northern Border Caucus, which helps to foster a stronger relationship between the United States and Canada.
