About us

Acorn Distributors was founded in 1976 by Al Wachter as a small restaurant supply company, under the name of Acorn Paper and Restaurant Supply Co. The company was then located on the northeast side of Indianapolis. Although the company had always been successful, the real growth did not occur until the mid 1980’s, when Acorn became a member of the Network Services Co. and the Allied Buying Co. Membership in these buying and marketing groups improved Acorn’s buying power, industry contacts and the ability to sell to national and regional chain accounts. Acorn soon became a major distributor to all types of customers: hotels and motels, hospitals and nursing homes, industrial and retail accounts, government agencies, school districts and universities, and, of course, restaurants. The product line also began to expand to include janitorial product supplies as well as food service. In 1993, to reflect a more diverse product line, Acorn Paper and Restaurant Supply Co. changed its name to Acorn Distributors, Inc. Acorn continued to grow and in the year 2000, moved to another location located near the Indianapolis Airport. In September, 2007, Acorn continued its growth with the acquisition of Cottingham Paper located in Columbus, Ohio and then acquired Unisan Columbus in 2022. In 2018, Acorn built a facility in Columbus, Ohio and in 2023, Acorn built another larger headquarters in Brownsburg, IN at 1625 W Northfield Dr. In 2005, Jennifer Rosenberg, Al’s daughter, became second-generation owner of Acorn allowing Acorn to apply for Women Business Enterprise certifications in Indiana and Louisville. In 2023, Acorn obtained its Women’s Business Enterprise National Council certification granting national WBE status for the company. Years of providing excellent customer service, quality product lines at competitive prices and the cultivation of a strong team of employees has given Acorn Distributors, Inc. a strong foundation to continue growing in the future.

    Restroom cleanliness is vital, not just from a hygiene perspective but also for creating a positive impression on customers, employees, and visitors. Emphasizing the importance of restroom cleanliness is a powerful way to highlight the value and effectiveness of your cleaning, hygiene and maintenance programs. Health and Hygiene As a high-traffic area, restrooms are prone to the accumulation of germs and bacteria. Inadequate cleaning can lead to the spread of infections, which can have serious consequences. Restroom programs present an opportunity to reinforce the use of high-quality, effective solutions to eliminate harmful pathogens and ensure a safe environment for all users. Perception and Reputation A clean restroom significantly impacts the perception of a business. A spotless, well-maintained restroom suggests attention to detail and a commitment to student, visitor or customer care, whereas a dirty, unkempt restroom can quickly tarnish a business's reputation. By offering products that guarantee a clean, fresh restroom, businesses can maintain a positive image and encourage repeat business. Employee Morale and Productivity Employees who work in an environment where restrooms are regularly cleaned and well-stocked with necessary supplies can feel more valued and comfortable, which can boost morale and productivity. Conversely, neglected restrooms can lead to dissatisfaction, discomfort, and even health issues. Selling cleaning products that ensure a consistently clean restroom shows you understand the link between cleanliness and employee satisfaction. Long-Term Cost Savings Routine cleaning and maintenance prevents the buildup of grime, mold, and other substances that can damage floors, fixtures and surfaces over time. This can lead to expensive maintenance costs. By promoting products that are effective and easy to use, you can help businesses protect their investments. The restroom care program offered by NCL is focused on delivering consistent product performance based on the concepts mentioned above. Highlighting these benefits above will help demonstrate the value of your cleaning, hygiene and maintenance program while establishing you as a key contributor to your customers' success. https://lnkd.in/eCTQT-pt
