Welcome to the November issue of IMARK TODAY!
As I reflect on this year, we have
witnessed a rapid transformation
sweeping through the distribution
channel, including significant
consolidation at every level:
wholesale, manufacturing, sales representative agencies
and contractors. Combined with the influx of private equity
capital, the landscape is evolving at a faster pace than ever.
These shifts are reshaping long-standing relationships,
altering business dynamics and forcing companies
across the channel to rethink their strategies and value
propositions.
Yet, amid these changes, IMARK continues not only to
endure but also to thrive. Our strength is rooted in the
collective power of independent wholesalers, which
enables the group to remain agile and responsive to
the ever-changing market shifts. We are focused on
what matters most, continually adding value to our
members and supplier partners.
One way to continue our success and offer new
opportunities to IMARK members and suppliers is to
expand into complementary industries. The strategic
expansion into Irrigation, Water Works, PVF, HVAC,
and Industrial/Construction has paid significant
dividends in terms of adding additional members
and suppliers to the group. Plus, we are pursuing
several adjacent and strategic growth opportunities.
These expansions safeguard the group against
disruption and position IMARK as the leader in the
evolving distribution channel.
As we approach the end of another year, on behalf
of the IMARK team, we want to express our sincere
gratitude for your continued support, partnership
and trust.
Thank you, and enjoy the November issue!
