Grow Business

“We look at PTDA members as the best within our field and market area. Networking with distributor principals and non-competing manufacturers at the PTDA Industry Summit has been the source of a number of innovative ideas that have contributed greatly to our continued growth.” —Chris Curran, President, Climax Metal Products Company (Wickliffe, Ohio)

Whether you want to establish relationships with a network of independent solution providers or to raise your profile with regional and national players, PTDA delivers value to manufacturers looking to build their brand and expand market coverage.
 

PTDA member distributors range from less than $1 million to over $3 billion in annual sales, and from single-store locations to national players with over 500 branches. What they have in common is a commitment to serve their customers, manage a profitable business and strengthen relationships with manufacturers.
