GLENVIEW, Ill., Sept. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Envoy Solutions, a diversified distribution company, is excited to announce the acquisition of North Woods, based in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. North Woods develops and distributes innovative cleaning and sanitation solutions to promote safe and healthy work environments.

This new acquisition continues to support Envoy Solutions' ambitious approach to bring together like-minded, valued companies offering facilities supplies, foodservice disposables and equipment, and packaging solutions.

North Woods is among a series of companies to join Envoy Solutions' growing portfolio, which includes North American, WAXIE Sanitary Supply, Southeastern Paper Group, and Daycon.

"I'm excited to start working with our new team members and develop expanded solutions. While we have broad appeal with our national platform, we are also taking a targeted approach with our regional expansions, and North Woods will be instrumental to our success in the Midwest."

North Woods, which was founded in 1964, is proud of its long-standing commitment to environmentally friendly products.  The company has been striving to set new standards for green technology long before customers began to demand it. Terry Schaller serves as President and will remain in this position. He'll continue to lead the business and focus on their strong commitment to their customers, community service, and sustainability.

"It's clear that this partnership will allow our team to deliver our core values on an elevated level," said Terry Schaller, President of North Woods. "Our collaborative approach to working with customers and suppliers, solving complex challenges with innovative solutions, and investing in our employees and the communities we serve, fits well with the Envoy Solutions' business model."
