Kelsan was founded in 1950 by Till Keller as one of East Tennessee’s first true janitorial and sanitary supply distributors. From day one, the mission was simple: provide dependable products, honest guidance, and service people could count on.

That commitment has guided every stage of our growth. In 1999, Kelsan expanded its capabilities by adding packaging supplies through the acquisition of Industrial Paper and Packaging Corp., allowing us to support customers with both cleaning and operational needs under one roof.

Today, Kelsan remains proudly rooted in Knoxville while serving customers throughout the Southeast with the same values we were founded on—integrity, reliability, and relationships that last.
