Fast-growing Imperial Bag & Paper Co., a supplier of food service and janitorial supplies to New York institutions including Zabar, Fairway and Café Metro, is expanding in Jersey City and in Brooklyn.
Imperial has acquired Morton Paper, based in Brooklyn's Bushwick section, for an undisclosed amount, the company announced Wednesday. The closing is scheduled for July 31.
For Imperial, one of Crain's "Fast 50" companies in 2012 , the move means growth into retail and office products.
"When we expand, we need to look at expanding into new customers or expanding the breadth of our product line," said Robert Tillis, CEO of Imperial. The Morton's acquisition does both.
