Tundra Specialties acquires Cen Tex

BOULDER – Restaurant supply company Tundra Specialties plans to add 30 employees and space after buying Cen Tex Supply Co., a local cleaning products and supplies company.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Cen Tex will move into Tundra’s showroom and warehouse space at 3825 Walnut St. in Boulder before July 1, according to a recorded company announcement.

All Cen Tex workers will be absorbed into Tundra Specialties, and more hires are expected, according to a Tundra Specialties worker who declined to be named. The new operation is expected to have more than 100 employees.

Tundra has been growing in recent years, moving from its previous location in Gunbarrel to Boulder a little more than a year ago with the help of business incentives from the city of Boulder.

On its website, Cen Tex touts itself as having the state’s largest selection of eco-friendly paper and packaging products. The company highlights its compostable, recyclable and biodegradable paper products and foodservice supplies and its free delivery service.

Cen Tex was founded in 1951 and was first named Centennial Paper Co., according to the website. The company currently is located at 2845 29th St. in Boulder.
