Next-Gen Supply Group

What Next-Gen Supply Group does

Next-Gen Supply Group is a privately held regional distributor of janitorial and sanitary supply products headquartered in Mansfield, Massachusetts, serving customers across New England (Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Vermont). The company was formed in 2019 through the merger of MD Stetson Co., Inc. (founded 1938) and Supreme Industrial Products, Inc. (founded 1986), and has since executed regional tuck-in acquisitions including Triples S Central Mass in 2020 and Simplex Janitorial Supplies in 2021. Next-Gen operates state-of-the-art distribution centers in Mansfield (50,000 sq ft) and Orange, Connecticut (25,000 sq ft), supported by a company-owned delivery fleet using UPS Roadnet routing software.

The company's product portfolio is anchored by three proprietary cleaning chemical brands — M.D. Stetson, MixMate, and Product Central — which are manufactured locally at its own facility alongside certified green formulations carrying Green Seal and ECOLOGO certifications. In addition to proprietary chemicals, Next-Gen distributes third-party supplier partner products from manufacturers including 3M, Rubbermaid Commercial, GOJO (PURELL), Georgia Pacific, SCA (Tork), Kimberly-Clark Professional, Nobles, Clarke, and ECOS. A differentiated service layer includes vendor-managed inventory, equipment leasing, equipment repair (described as the largest cleaning equipment service department in New England), staff training via an online learning management system (ProProf), and the Code:GREEN program supporting LEED-EB IEQ certification.

Next-Gen operates as part of BradyPLUS Company (also branded under Envoy Solutions), which reported approximately $95 million in consolidated FY2023 revenue. The company employs 101-250 people and reaches customers through enterprise field sales with dedicated account and customer service representatives, three online catalogs, government contract vehicles (FAC85, MHEC), and channel partnerships with building service contractors. End markets include K-12 and Higher Education, Building Service Contractors, Healthcare, Property Management, and Government/Municipal customers. Revenue mechanics combine transactional janitorial supply distribution, direct chemical manufacturing, professional services (training, repair, managed inventory), and equipment leasing.

Product overview

Next-Gen Supply Group is a regional distributor of janitorial and sanitary supply products serving the Northeast United States. The company operates a multi-brand product portfolio centered on three proprietary cleaning chemical sub-brands: M.D. Stetson (established brand with floor finishes, disinfectants, degreasers, and equipment), MixMate (concentrated dilution-system chemicals including Glass-Mate, Surface-Mate, Floor-Mate, and sanitizers), and Product Central (disinfectants, glass cleaners, APCs, and carpet care). These chemical brands are manufactured locally at Next-Gen's own facility, offering quality and value directly to customers. The company also offers a comprehensive suite of value-added services including equipment repair, managed inventory, staffing analysis, staff training via an online learning management system, and the Code:GREEN environmental program supporting LEED certification. The company was formed through the 2019 merger of M.D. Stetson Co. (founded 1936) and Supreme Industrial Products (founded 1986), and has since acquired Simplex Janitorial Products.

Direct peers

• Hillyard Industries: Mid-large U.S. janitorial supply manufacturer/distributor that combines in-house chemical production (cleaners, disinfectants, floor care) with regional distribution and equipment programs. Closely analogous vertically-integrated model to Next-Gen's MD Stetson, MixMate, and Product Central brands.
• Spruce Industries: Regional janitorial and sanitation supply distributor serving the Western U.S. with direct chemical manufacturing and value-added services. Comparable size, customer mix (schools, healthcare, government), and vertically-integrated operating model to Next-Gen Supply Group.
• Waxie Sanitary Supply: Long-established West Coast regional JanSan distributor, now part of the same Envoy Solutions / BradyPLUS platform that owns Next-Gen. Combines proprietary chemical brands, equipment service, training, and online ordering for institutional accounts — a near-mirror of Next-Gen's model in a different geography.
• Imperial Dade: Largest independent janitorial/sanitary supply distributor in North America. Operates a hub-and-spoke distribution model with in-house chemical manufacturing (Method, etc.) and value-added services closely analogous to Next-Gen's offerings, serving the same end customers (education, healthcare, building service contractors, government) at a much larger scale.
• Brady Industries: Regional Janitorial and foodservice supply distributor serving the Western U.S. with a multi-brand product portfolio, in-house chemical compounding, and equipment service. Comparable size, operating model, and customer vertical mix to Next-Gen Supply Group.
• Coastwide Professional Solutions: Online-first janitorial and breakroom supply distributor owned by Staples. Targets the same mid-market and enterprise facility maintenance buyers with a paper, chemical, and cleaning supply catalog and recurring delivery model — directly competitive with Next-Gen's online catalogs (Stetson, Supreme Industrial, MRO).

Broad incumbents

• Veritiv Corporation: North American distributor of facility supplies, printing paper, packaging, and print-and-visual communications. Overlaps with Next-Gen in the janitorial and paper supplies categories sold to commercial and institutional customers, though Veritiv is much larger and broader in scope.
• Bunzl North America: Global distribution and wholesaling giant whose North American division supplies janitorial, foodservice, and industrial packaging products to the same institutional buyers as Next-Gen. A multi-billion-dollar incumbent that competes in the same accounts but with vastly broader geographic and category coverage.
