Regional Jan/San Distributor in South Central U.S.

Project Craftsman represents the confidential sale of a long-standing regional distributor of janitorial, sanitation, and food-packaging supplies serving institutional, industrial, and commercial customers across the South-Central U.S. The Company benefits from a highly diversified customer base (800+ active accounts), strong vendor relationships with protected territories, and a recurring-revenue model driven by proprietary dispensing systems and high-frequency consumables. The business operates three distribution centers with an experienced 40+ person workforce and an efficient delivery fleet. Gross margins have remained consistently above 30%, supported by strong customer retention, disciplined inventory management (DIO ~32 days), and a recession-resistant product mix serving education, government, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail end markets. Recent operational initiatives, including SKU rationalization, targeted sales hires, and route optimization, have strengthened profitability and positioned the Company for continued growth. Additional near-term upside exists through vendor rebate optimization, product line expansion in areas such as safety, PPE, and industrial supplies, and potential warehouse consolidation efficiencies. The owner is seeking to retire and transition the business to a capable buyer. If you are interested in reviewing additional materials, please request the NDA.
