Imperial Dade strengthened its Boston-area product offering with the acquisition of Harbour Food Service Equipment.

Based near Boston in Chelsea, MA, Harbour is a distributor of equipment and supplies to independent restaurants, local chains and a variety of corporate, educational and government institutions. The company is owned and operated by the Kalick family.

The deal is already the seventh acquisition announced by Imperial Dade in 2024, and represents the 83rd deal for the company under the leadership of Chairman Robert and CEO Jason Tillis.

“This acquisition and partnership reinforces our focus to bolster our product offering and expertise to our customers,” Jason Tillis said in an April 11 news release. “Harbour and Imperial Dade have shared values, and we are excited to roll out the full product suite to customers across the Northeast.”

“On behalf of Harbour Food Service Equipment, we are thrilled to be part of Imperial Dade,” added Harbour President Kelly Kalick. “Imperial Dade shares the same relentless focus on delivering the best service and product offering to the customer. The resources and strategic support will enable us to continue our growth trajectory and strengthen customer relationships.”
