BradyIFS acquires in Midwest Imperial Dade adds scale in California

Imperial Dade has made another acquisition, this time in California.

The jan/san reseller has purchased Focus Packaging and Supply, a distributor of food service packaging and janitorial supplies in the greater Fresno market. Current CEO Mike Liang co-founded the business in 1995 and today it employs around 25 full-time staff.

US jan/san and food service supplies distributor BradyIFS has made its first acquisition of 2023. The company confirmed it has acquired YPV Distribution, a reseller based near Chicago. Brothers Peter and John Bouzas together with Vaios Papandreou will continue to lead and manage the product and services growth of the business under the new ownership.

With this transaction, BradyIFS’s revenue in the Chicago area now exceeds $70 million. It said it expects additional opportunities in the Midwest and Eastern US in 2023.

“The acquisition of Focus provides us with a foothold in the growing Fresno market, which is key as we expand throughout California,” said Imperial Dade chairman Bob Tillis. Focus is Imperial Dade’s 59th acquisition since 2007.
