As my colleague Andy Powell wrote in his blog post The Benefits of Buying Through Distribution:
1. A distributor can serve as a one-stop shop.
2. Local distributors serve as experts in their area. (They often have the scoop on new projects, change orders, supplemental materials, and emergency repair needs.)
3. Having a distributor on hand is extremely convenient. Nothing is worse than having to call the factory again to have more product shipped after a mis-calculated estimate.
4. Many distributors actively work to get products specified for local jobs. That in itself can be a huge benefit. The distributor in a sense can sometimes be an extended part of your sales force.
With those benefits in mind, we're starting a Distributor Profile Series to provide more information on Alchemy-Spetec's distribution network.
In this article, we feature Metro Sealant & Waterproofing Supply.
They are family owned and have been in business since 1989. They currently operate in Washington, Richmond, and Baltimore. They stock a full line of waterproofing products and their motto is: “We deliver more than material”.
Not only do they offer competitive pricing to their customers, they also offer unparalleled technical support.
