Foodservice packaging and janitorial supplies firm Imperial Dade has completed the 57th acquisition since chairman Robert Tillis and CEO Jason Tillis took over leadership of the business in 2007.
The company has snapped up Classic Solutions, a leading distributor of janitorial sanitation and equipment products throughout the greater Columbus market.
The addition of Classic’s location in Columbus will strengthen Imperial Dade’s existing presence in Ohio.
Together, the Imperial Dade platform will operate over 125 distribution centers throughout the United States and Canada, further solidifying its position as a premier North American specialty distributor.
Robert Tillis said: “Classic Solutions has an established reputation for exceptional customer service, which makes it a great addition to the Imperial Dade platform. Partnering with Classic affirms our commitment to provide the highest quality service throughout North America.”
Jason Tillis added: “Classic’s commitment to customer service aligns well with Imperial Dade’s philosophy and values. I am excited for the opportunity to partner with their team to further grow our business and continue to deliver high-quality solutions and services to our customers.”
Founded in 1935, Imperial Dade serves more than 90,000 customers across North America.
