Imperial Brady
The Firm
The record is the argument here. The five purchases below are a Rochester distributor operating since 1936, a Milwaukee one since 1964, a Georgia business held by one family since 1979, a fourth-generation Mid-Atlantic house roughly a hundred and twenty years old, and a western Canadian distributor founded in 1973. One of the releases numbers the deal as the ninety-sixth under current ownership.
What it does not publish is any invitation. The merger this year moved the whole site to a new domain and the sell-your-business page did not survive the move, so what remains is a news index with dated purchases and nowhere for an owner to start the conversation. There are no criteria, no size band and no statement about what happens to a seller afterwards.
For a reader of the jan-san guide the useful reading is not that this firm might buy them. It is that the businesses it buys are the businesses they are shopping for, which is a fair warning about how contested that market is.
What It Buys
Jersey City, New Jersey. The most acquisitive buyer of janitorial and packaging distributors in the country, formed this year from two rivals, and still buying single-branch family houses in the trade.
