PEEKSKILL, N.Y. — White Plains Linen purchased 50% of Cascade Linen Service late last month, bringing White Plains' annual sales to $50 million. This, along with the recent expansion of its plant to 100,000 square feet, makes White Plains Linen one of the largest independent linen suppliers in the country, the company claims.
Louis Botchman started White Plains Linen 70 years ago and passed the business to his sons, Allan and Jay, in the 1950s. In 1983, the business moved to Peekskill, and Bruce and Keith Botchman, Allan's sons, became active in the company.
Today, with Bruce Botchman and Keith Botchman serving as president and vice president, respectively, the family-operated business has 450 employees; approximately 2,500 active accounts; and a fleet of 50 trucks serving the five boroughs of New York City, the lower Hudson Valley, and parts of New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
