May 6, 2024 Imperial Dade Acquires Illinois Distributor

Imperial Dade has purchased Decatur, Illinois-based R.D. McMillen Inc. (RDM) for an undisclosed sum in a private financial transaction.

Owned and operated by Shannon McMillen-Binder, RDM distributes facility management supplies, janitorial equipment, and personal care products throughout Illinois. The purchase further expands Imperial Dade’s presence in the Midwest and marks the 85th acquisition by Imperial Dade under its current leadership team of Robert and Jason Tillis, chairman and CEO of Imperial Dade, respectively.

“The RDM family is humbled to become part of Imperial Dade, the leading distribution platform across North America,” McMillen-Binder said. “The partnership provides the resources required to continue our momentum, invest in our people, and to take our business to the next level.”

“It has been a pleasure getting to know Shannon and the RDM team through this process,” added Jason Tillis. “RDM and Imperial Dade share a focus on its customers and service quality, and now as partners will be able to share resources and strengthen our presence throughout Illinois.”
