Penn Jersey Paper Company (PJP) is pleased to announce the acquisition of Gelmarc Distributors, a broad line distributor of foodservice supplies, equipment, disposables and janitorial products located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

“The acquisition of Gelmarc is an opportunity for us to strengthen our position as the region’s leading distributor of foodservice supplies,” says Tom Furia, Jr., president and COO of PJP. “Gelmarc’s reputation for providing superior customer service aligns well with our own culture and commitments.”

This will be PJP’s third acquisition in the last seven years, further strengthening the company’s distribution channels in its core market area.

PJP will take over operations of the Gelmarc cash and carry storefront making it the third PJP Marketplace foodservice superstore. Open to the public, PJP Marketplace is the ideal distention for smaller foodservice operators to get the food and supply items needed to run their operations.
