Imperial Dade, a distributor of disposable food service and janitorial supplies, has acquired Area Distributors, a family-owned and operated distributor of innovative packaging in San Jose, California, for an undisclosed amount.
Imperial Dade believes the acquisition strengthens its West Coast presence while enhancing the company’s differentiated value proposition to customers in the region. The transaction represents the 25th acquisition for Imperial Dade under the leadership of Robert and Jason Tillis, chief executive officer and president of Imperial Dade, respectively.
With over 60 years of experience serving the Northern California market, Area Distributors has proven to be a valued and trusted solution provider for displaying, protecting and transporting a wide range of products. By leveraging Imperial Dade’s platform and operational experience, Area Distributors’ customers can expect the same customized service coupled with an expanded offering of packaging solutions.
“Like Imperial Dade, Area Distributors has a strong family operated culture with a loyal customer base and a laser focused commitment to providing an unparalleled customer experience, making the business a great addition to our family,” says Robert Tillis.
