Uniforms distributor Galls acquires Roy Tailors

“We are pleased to announce the acquisition of Roy Tailors Uniform Co. Roy Tailors is a leader in the Ohio market and has distinguished itself through excellent service in its stores. We are excited to build on the company’s success by pairing it with Galls’ breadth of product, national distribution capabilities, catalog and web presence, and premier information technology infrastructure,” said Michael Wessner, chief executive officer of Galls.

As a family owned and operated business for over 50 years, Roy Tailors is committed to providing high quality uniforms and outstanding service to its police, fire, EMS, postal and transit customers.

Randy Loftspring, president and chief executive officer of Roy Tailors, said, “My father began Roy Tailors in 1958 by selling postal uniforms out of the trunk of his car. We have grown immensely since those humble beginnings, and it has been my greatest honor to serve the fine men and women in uniform. Joining the Galls family, with its broad product offerings, wide distribution capabilities, and advanced technology platform, enables us to take the next step forward and service our customers at an even greater level. We are thrilled with this partnership.”

Lexington, Kentucky based Galls, LLC was acquired by New York-based private equity firm CI Capital Partners in September 2011, as a platform investment in the public safety products market. This is the second add-on acquisition for Galls under CI Capital’s ownership. The company also purchased Quartermaster in January 2012.
