Network Distribution and Packaging Distributors of America have finalized a “strategic alliance” that will see PDA members, suppliers and customers join Network Distribution by the middle of the year.
The combined organization will retain the Network Distribution name and continue to be led by Network Distribution President and CEO Alan Tomblin.
The transition is expected to be completed by July 1, officials said in the announcement.
“Both companies have long recognized that local distribution is critical to our success and sustainable expansion is achieved through deliberate investment in people, structure, and culture,” Tomblin said in a statement. “The alliance leverages the financial strength, supplier relationships, and operational discipline of two industry leaders to create a broader platform capable of servicing the wide-ranging packaging market.”
“This alliance between Packaging Distributors of America and Network Distribution is a great step forward for our industry, creating stronger opportunities and added value for both our members and suppliers,” added PDA founder, President and CEO George Strobel.
