November 2, 2023
Imperial Dade has acquired Advance Shipping Supplies Inc. for an undisclosed sum in a private financial transaction.
Founded in 1985, Advance is a Mississauga, Canada, distributor of food service packaging, printing papers, and janitorial supplies servicing the province of Ontario. This marks Imperial Dade’s third acquisition in recent months in Canada. The company purchased Eugene Allard Produits d’Emballage et d’Entretien in late September. It is also the 75th acquisition by Imperial Dade under its current leadership team of Robert and Jason Tillis, chairman and CEO of Imperial Dade, respectively.
“I enthusiastically welcome the Advance family to Imperial Dade. Advance has a loyal customer base and a laser focused commitment to providing an unparalleled customer experience, making the business a great addition to our growing North American platform,” said Jason Tillis.
“Partnering with Advance is yet another step in our mission to be the leading national specialty distributor of industrial, food service, and janitorial products. Imperial Dade looks forward to building upon our already established success and continuing to find ways to better serve our customers and vendor partners,” added Stephane Lapointe, Imperial Dade Canada president.
