AD, the largest contractor and industrial products wholesale buying group in North America and an SFIA member, reports that member sales through the first nine months of 2025 increased 28% to $78 billion across the group’s 14 divisions and three countries. Member purchases from AD suppliers rose 31%.
A significant percentage of AD’s overall YTD growth was the result of its 2024 merger with IMARK Electrical. However, AD members also acquired 75 companies year-to-date, including 24 fellow AD members and 51 from outside the group.
Same-store sales of existing AD members increased in their respective currencies by:
- 6% in the U.S.
- 5% in Canada
- 1% in Mexico
“2025 continues to be AD’s largest growth year ever, boding exceptionally well for our ability to deliver increased profitability to our owner-members, increased market-share to our supplier partners and cost-efficiently support our growing community of independents for years to come,” said AD CEO Bill Weisberg.
