Frank Kasnick, President and CEO stated, “We also set six separate all-time monthly records in 2017 and ended strong with a record December. 2017 is quite a milestone.”
He continued, “This is a testament to the strength and resilience of the independents in our welding & gas industry, and reflects the strong support from our Vendor partners.”
Keith Werkley, Director of Sales & Vendor Management, declared, “When combined with direct spend on IWDC programmes not invoiced through the co-op, IWDC Member companies’ spend approached $350m.”
Werkley added, “January has started strong and we are looking for continued momentum and a very robust 2018!”
The IWDC is a cooperative, formed in 1994, which leverages the strengths of its independent welding distributor Members across North America. IWDC Member companies collectively represent over $2.2bn in sales, serving a wide range of industries.
