Dutch Hollow Supplies, Inc.

What Dutch Hollow Supplies, Inc. does

Dutch Hollow Supplies, Inc. is a family-owned B2B wholesale distributor founded in 1984 and headquartered at 6218 Old St Louis Rd, Belleville, Illinois, with approximately 15 employees. The company aggregates 75,000+ SKUs from more than 300 manufacturers across janitorial, packaging, office, food service, and safety categories, and sells to building service contractors, retailers, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, industrial buyers, offices, food and beverage operators, government agencies, and non-profits in Metro St. Louis, Central and Southern Illinois, and Southeast Missouri.

Revenue is generated through wholesale distribution on standard catalog plus freight economics, with a blended go-to-market combining an e-commerce site, phone/email sales, and a sales-led motion. In 1993 the company divested its service business to focus exclusively on distribution, and over 2022-2026 it has layered on JaniLearn, a proprietary Learning Management System for Jan/San industry training, a promotional products shop, and service-area coverage pages for Springfield, Marion, Carbondale, and St. Charles County. A sustained blog cadence from 2022 through 2026 supports organic demand capture across served verticals.

The business remains privately held by the founding family with no external funding disclosed, and there is no public revenue, headcount growth, or M&A data. The operating profile is that of a long-tenured regional distributor with modest but observable product and geographic expansion on top of a stable SMB customer base.
