BradyPlus, Imperial Dade Announce Merger

Janitorial-sanitation and industrial packaging distributors BradyPlus and Imperial Dade plan to merge, company officials announced Monday.

Company executives said that combining the businesses would allow each to serve a greater number of customers with a broader portfolio of products and services.

BradyPlus was established in early 2024 following the merger of jan-san distributors BradyIFS and Envoy Solutions the previous year. The Las Vegas-based company said at the time of that merger that the companies operated 180 locations between them with a staff of nearly 6,000.

Under its current leaders — CEO Jason Tillis and Chairman Robert Tillis — the New Jersey-based distributor has acquired 97 companies in the past 18 years.


Terms of the deal, including a price tag and transaction timeline, were not disclosed.

“Together, we'll be more agile, more connected to customer needs, and better equipped to provide solutions to more customers across North America,” BradyPlus Chairman and CEO Ken Sweder said in the announcement.

"This is an exciting step for both organizations," added Jason Tillis. "We're combining two like-minded teams who put the customer first and share a commitment to building something special for the long term.”
