- The merger creates a transformational new organization with nearly $5 billion in annual revenue, a team of nearly 6,000 associates across 180 locations, and more than 100,000 branded and exclusive brand products from leading suppliers.
- Together, the combined company is one of the largest, most capable distribution platforms in North America, providing a broad range of supplies and expert support to clients focused on facility care (jan/san), foodservice, industrial packaging, and marketing execution.
- The company’s focus on creating high-value and lasting client relationships remains unchanged as it continues to provide products, solutions and support tailored to help clients achieve their operating objectives — cleaner, safer, and more successful facilities, and more productive, sustainable operations.
