SAN JOSE, Calif. — During a time of nationwide consolidation among roofing distributors, a group of seasoned distribution professionals decided to go against the trend and start a local, manager-owned distributorship called Elite Roofing Supply (ERS). Brian Torry, Greg Russell, Scott DeLine and Sarah Weiss teamed up to open two ERS facilities, one in San Jose, Calif., and the other in Orange, Calif.
The group’s goals, according to Torry, are to “build a healthy, entrepreneurial small business, with conservative and steady growth into new markets.”
