Janpak was founded in 1945 in Bluefield, West Virginia by James Shott, H. I. Shott, Jr., James Tilson, L. M. Kerley Sr. and B. L. Early. It was first called Paper Supply Company until 2000 when the name changed to JanPak Inc. Mike Shott, James Shott's grandson, was serving as company chair of the board directors at the time of the name change to JanPak. The name changed to JanPak to unite its sister branches who each were known by a different name. By 2003 JanPak had over 12,000 customers in 15 states. In 2005 JanPak consolidated its offices in Dallas and Fort Worth to a 32,000 square foot facility in Fort Worth. Operations of JanPak were expanded in 2007 with a new distribution center in Houston, Texas.
In June 2008 JanPak acquired a distributor of janitorial supplies called Pro Star Janitorial based in Port Arthur, Texas. On May 21, 2008 JanPak hosted a Green Seminar in Dallas, Texas featuring over 100 of the region's leading contractors and environmental services leaders. JanPak expanded its operations with a $1 million investment in a distribution center in West Columbia, South Carolina in 2009. Two years later JanPak expanded with a distribution center in Orlando, Florida to serve customers in Central Florida. In April 2012 JanPak acquired a distributor of cleaning supplies called Advance Paper Company based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Advance Paper markets cleaning supplies in Chattanooga, Knoxville and North Georgia.
