Member-governed cooperative joins organization in support of the adoption of ETIM product classification standards in North America.

From Sept. 15 – 17, attendees participated in a series of sessions that included member and supplier updates and one-on-one booth sessions.

The conference was originally scheduled for March 22-26, 2021, in San Antonio.

The new facility provides Canada-based AD members with redistribution of over 75 product lines of industrial, safety and janitorial items, including private-label brand Tuff Grade.

The award recognizes HR professionals who exemplify outstanding achievement.

This partnership will create the AD Safety Network Division, which will be led by Marisol Fernandez, who is also the president of the Industrial and Safety–U.S. Division. 

AD has named David Kinsella as president of its Electrical–U.S. Division; Electrical-U.S. Supplier VP John Kudlacek has elected to retire as of the end of the year; and Steven Guidry will become the Electrical-U.S. VP of supplier relations and marketing programs.

Van Meter has proven to be more than just electrical products and distribution; its culture has produced a shared purpose that creates lasting value for those it serves.

Blue joined AD’s Industrial Supply Division in 2012 as vice president of marketing and affiliate relations, then a new role centered on advocacy for members.

On a same-store basis, member sales across all AD’s divisions and countries were down 6 percent through the first six months of this year, to $21.6 billion, driven by a 13 percent decline in Q2.
