Industrial Distribution connects you to distributors – the critical link in
your company’s sales success. The more distribu-
tors know your brand, the more likely they will
recommend it to end-users. That’s where we come
in. Through our digital magazine, e-newsletters and
online products, Industrial Distribution has been
delivering the information distributors need to
succeed since 1911.
Factors Impacting Distributor SelectionDistributors serve a vital supply chain role. With global economic competition intensifying, the end-user customer needs short lead times, on-time delivery and technical support. More and more, they are looking to distributors to play a crucial role in keeping their supply chains operating smoothly and effectively.
Sales Growth StrategiesBusiness development strategies and battling to stay competitive continue to be the primary focal points for industrial distributors. These areas showed the biggest percentage gains in one year.
2012
2011
2012 Year-End RevenuesThese overall average sales volumes offer an interesting look at how the market is broken up amongst the varying sizes of industrial distribution businesses.
Less than $10 million$10 to $20 million$20 to $50 million$50 to $100 million$100 to $250 million$250 to $500 million$500 million+
The value that a magazine like Industrial Distribution brings to the table is the sharing of ideas, actions, and solutions for what challenges our industry and the companies in it.

WinWholesale Inc.

We operate in a highly fragmented indus-try, so it can be tough to stay plugged into everything going on. Industrial Distribution magazine is an industry institution that keeps all of us connected to each other by sharing information. That has been invalu-able to me, to MSC, and to the industry as a whole.
− Erik Gershwind, COO, MSC Industrial Supply

Technology Solutions Expected to Have the Greatest ImpactIn the next few years, the applications expected to have the greatest influence on distributors’ business development aligns with those solutions now being evaluated.
Technology Solutions to be Adopted in 2013In recent years, the evaluation and adoption for many of these enterprise-level applications was gradual. However, in the upcoming years, the applications that serve as a direct sales channel – online ordering – are expected to undergo the most widespread rate of adoption.
Distributors Carrying More Product LinesA growing percent of distributors indicate the number of lines they carry has increased since a year ago. While more than 40 percent claim the number of product lines they stock has grown, only 6 percent say the breadth of products they carry has diminished.
Supplier EvaluationsCharacteristics Considered Important When Evaluating Suppliers
Overall, quality of merchandise and timely delivery of products are the most important features distributors want from a manufacturing supplier. Interestingly, these characteristics are considered more important than support and price.
