Atlas Roofing Corp. now offers Atlas Express Service for LTL (less than truckload) product pickups at its new regional distribution center in the Greater Chicago region.
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).
NEMEON is a purchasing cooperative comprised of more than 180 locally owned independent roofing and siding distributors with more than 520 locations nationwide.
A cooperative is one way for independent business owners — the backbone of Main Street — to prosper and effectively meet the challenge of chain store and big box competition.
Distributors are always looking to bring more to the table for their contractor customers, and Allied Building Products Corp. has taken that approach to a new level with its new expanded Contractor Tool Center program. The company opened its prototype facility in Wall Township, N.J., in October 2008 to great success.
Dale Tadlock, President of Tadlock Roofing & Solar, headquartered in Tallahassee, Fla., called it “something we will always remember.” Mike Wright of Ace Roofing and Construction Inc. in Toledo, Ohio, called it “a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
