AD, Wayne, Pa., the largest contractor and industrial products wholesale buying group in North America and an SFIA member, reported total member sales up 23% from the prior calendar year. The Gypsum Supply Division is up 40% in rebates versus the prior year, a company news release said.
Dan Maroni, president of the AD Building Materials Business Unit and Gypsum Supply Division, updated members on divisional growth and provided the above figures at the AD Gypsum Supply fall meeting, November 2-5 in New Orleans.
“The fall meeting provides the platform to share our current forecast with members as we near the close of the year, and I was pleased to announce such a strong financial update,” Maroni said.
AD Gypsum Supply welcomed more than 120 attendees to the 2022 AD Gypsum Supply Fall Meeting, where divisional leaders motivated attendees to reflect on this year’s meeting theme – “What’s Next” – to take advantage of opportunities for professional and personal growth.
Clay Geary, chairman of the AD Gypsum Supply Divisional Board, said, “I was proud to address and welcome members during the fall business meeting to my hometown of New Orleans. There was a level of excitement and gratitude for the member companies to come together to discuss the remainder of 2022 and beyond.”
The 2022 AD Gypsum Supply fall meeting in New Orleans included a meet and greet reception and other opportunities for attendees to network and reconnect.
The meeting agenda emphasized both formal and informal networking opportunities. Formal best practice groups brought non-competing members together to discuss shared challenges and talk about solutions for their businesses. The Gypsum Supply Board and Supplier Advisory Council also met to discuss industry trends and share opportunities to enhance member and supplier relationships.
“The fall member networking format helped to stimulate compelling dialogue for members to discuss the industry, and in turn make well-informed decisions for their business,” Maroni said. “I am proud of the Gypsum Supply member community and look forward to continuing to implement ways to add value together.”
