AD, the largest contractor and industrial products wholesale buying group in North America and an SFIA member, reported member sales for the first nine months of 2021 as $44 billion, an increase of 34% across its 13 divisions and three countries.
In addition, AD reported the following figures:
- Same-store sales were up 19%
- Member companies’ purchases from AD supplier partners grew 31%
- Net distributions to its members were up 41%
These performance measures, said Bill Weisberg, chairman and CEO of AD, illustrate the level of commitment that the group’s members and suppliers have for each other and reflect mutual growth.
“Every single day, we’re out there advocating for our members, negotiating for the best programs and imagining new programs and services to bring value to their businesses,” Weisberg said. “Just like our determined, purpose-driven independent members, we’re not about to let up now. We’ve got more mountains to climb.”
