Headquartered in Jersey City, Imperial Dade distributes foodservice packaging supplies, industrial products and janitorial supplies.

With a workforce of over 7,500 employees and a footprint of 130-plus locations nationwide, the 89-year-old company serves more than 120,000 customers in the B2B market segments, including grocery, foodservice, hospitality, health care, government, sports venues, cruise lines and industrial.
Since Chairman Robert Tillis and CEO Jason Tillis assumed their roles in 2007, Imperial Dade has grown both organically and though acquisitions to become a leading independently owned and operated supply chain organization.

Earlier this month, the company completed its 95th acquisition under their leadership – San-A-Care, a Wisconsin distributor of janitorial supplies, chemicals and cleaning equipment. November has also seen Imperial Dade purchase similar businesses in Rochester, N.Y., and San Jose, Calif.

Additionally, the company brought on food industry veteran Fareed Khan as CFO in September, saying his experience at companies like Kellogg Corp., U.S. Foods and JustFoodForDogs “will be instrumental to driving Imperial Dade’s continued robust growth.”
