BradyPLUS and Imperial Dade to Merge

BradyPLUS, a provider of janitorial and sanitation (jansan), foodservice, and industrial packaging products and solutions, and Imperial Dade, a leading distributor of foodservice, jansan, and industrial packaging products and solutions, announced on Monday the two companies plan to unite. Terms of the merger were not disclosed.

The merger brings together two organizations committed to delivering exceptional customer value and a common culture rooted in the legacy of family-owned businesses. The combined organization will be able to serve more customers with a broader portfolio of products and services.

“This transformational partnership will expand our geographic reach and significantly enhance our ability to serve our customers,” said Ken Sweder, BradyPLUS chairman and CEO. “Imperial Dade is a fantastic business with a talented team and leadership that shares our core values. We are both passionate about delivering the best for our customers. Together, we’ll be more agile, more connected to customer needs, and better equipped to provide solutions to more customers across North America.”

“This is an exciting step for both organizations,” said Jason Tillis, Imperial Dade CEO. “We’re combining two like-minded teams who put the customer first and share a commitment to building something special for the long term. I’m confident this partnership will create new opportunities for our people, our customers, and our suppliers.”

The merger is expected to close in the coming months, subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions. Until then, the two companies will continue to operate independently.
