Imperial Brady agrees to buy 80-year-old family distributor Mansfield Paper
Foodservice packaging and janitorial distribution
Imperial Brady has agreed to buy Mansfield Paper Company, a family-owned New England distributor founded in 1946, with closing expected by the end of 2026.
News: A national distributor with more than 13,000 employees keeps buying regional family-owned distributors.
Why it matters: Mansfield customers get access to Imperial Brady's wider range; the Shapiro family's local relationships are what the buyer is paying for.
Radar: Watch for more regional jan-san and packaging distributors selling to national groups. Terms were not disclosed.
