NEMEON Roofing and Siding Distribution Cooperative
Why Contractors Benefit From Choosing to Buy From Locally Owned Distributors
NEMEON is a purchasing cooperative comprised of more than 180 locally owned independent roofing and siding distributors with more than 520 locations nationwide. Working through a cooperative effort gives the membership a national presence with the manufacturing community yet retains all the advantages of local ownership. A cooperative is one way for independent business owners to prosper and effectively meet the challenge of chain store and big box competition. Colin King, co-owner of K & V Homes in Iowa, a customer of Lumbermans Drywall & Roofing Supply in Des Moines, chooses to buy local because “…it’s the personal service, from the owner on down, and the feeling of not being a customer, but being a part of the Lumbermans family.”
Bill Wahl Supply in New Jersey has been operating for more than 24 years with the business philosophy that profit is a byproduct of integrity. His customers have benefited from that. Steve McKillop Sr. of Aries Window and Door said, “BWS is like family to me. We go way back to when I first started in business years ago when I was a kid. They always work with me, no matter what type of situation arises.”
