About Carmen's Distribution Systems, Inc.
Carmen's is a family owned company located in Columbus, Ohio. We first opened our doors for business in 1970 as a small vacuum sales and service shop. In the last 44 years we have grown to 4 local retail stores and a distribution warehouse that supports our busy Janitorial & Sanitation, Business to Business, Retail and eCommerce operations. In addition, Carmen's is the largest distributor of ProTeam products in North America.
While we have grown our values remain the same. We will provide you with a great customer service experience and our knowledgeable staff are here to help you with your questions and to help you find the right solution for your unique needs.
