The transaction marks the 46th for the company under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Robert and President Jason Tillis.

The West Deptford-based company signed a lease for 191,000 square feet of manufacturing and distribution space, where it plans to hire for permanent, full-time positions.

It's the second recent deal for the company, coming on the heels of a similar five-year award with Florida State University.

The target is a leading distributor of janitorial, packaging, food service, safety and office products with 95 years of experience.

“I can say that the terminals in New York and New Jersey have the capacity to handle the extra volume,” said Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Deputy Director Bethann Rooney. “We can’t solve all of California’s problems … we can’t possibly absorb all of that volume because our own volume is still challenged moving through the supply chain.”

Sentinel Capital Partners adds the Totowa-based industry leader with five distribution centers and 22 satellite delivery locations across 16 contiguous states to its portfolio.

The Swedesboro-based supplier and distributor was chosen to provide laboratory products and services for Florida State University.

The purchase of the Michigan-based company brings the number of acquired firms under brothers Robert and Jason Tillis, CEO and president, respectively, to 43.

The Jersey City-based company's purchase of Mailender further expands its presence in the Midwest, representing its 42nd acquisition under the leadership of the Tillis duo.

The 622,230-square-foot facility will enable the retailer to deliver to its customers in the New York Metro region. And, the company anticipates it will house several hundred new jobs over the next few years.

The newly constructed refrigerated and frozen food distribution location recently underwent a 95,000-square-foot expansion to accommodate existing tenant, Misfits Market Inc., which now occupies the full building.

The company says it has created more than 49,000 jobs in New Jersey since 2010.
