The Northeast's Premier Janitorial Supplies Distributor

“The future of Jan / San distribution. Today.”

Next-Gen Supply Group was formed with the merger of MD Stetson Co., Inc. and Supreme Industrial Products, Inc. The name Next-Gen Supply Group was developed to symbolize what we want to convey to our customers and employees; whether it be new products, processes, or new people.

  • This took two regional suppliers in the New England janitorial distribution market and created a regional powerhouse which is one of the largest independent, locally owned janitorial supply distributors on the east coast.
  • Stetson, was a third generation company founded in 1936, and brought an unequaled level of industry expertise highlighted by the Stetson brand of cleaning chemicals along with the deepest offering of cleaning equipment. Stetson has a long history and commitment to innovation which has resulted in inventions including the Strapavac, the world’s first backpack vacuum, and Stetco Maintainer, the world’s first mop-on restorer, both of which revolutionized our entire industry. Today, unique programs such as our CODE:GREEN program, Facilitech Staff Analysis System, Partner One Quality Assurance System and our “Catch the Training!” programs are examples of the on-going commitment to our value added offering.
  • Supreme, a second generation company founded in 1986 is highlighted by it’s dynamic sales group, streamline distribution process, and leading edge product offering is certainly not a newcomer to the industry.
