The transaction is the 67th for Imperial Dade under the leadership of Chairman Robert Tillis and CEO Jason Tillis. Financial terms of the private transaction were not disclosed.

By using Imperial Dade’s platform, Atlantis customers across North America can expect the heightened customized service with a greater offering of products and solutions.
“Atlantis…has an excellent commitment to its customers, which makes it a great addition to the Imperial Dade platform,” Robert Tillis said.
“We are excited for the opportunity to expand our business and better serve our customers as part of the Imperial Dade platform,” Eric Rodriguez, president of Atlantis Packaging, said in a statement.
Founded in 1935, Imperial Dade serves more than 90,000 customers across North America. Since 2007, the company has grown organically and through acquisitions to become a leader in the foodservice, packaging and janitorial supplies industry.
“This acquisition reinforces our focus to strengthen our presence in key growth markets to ensure our customers receive the highest quality service,” Jason Tillis said.
