This holiday season, we’re extra thankful for the incredible trade professionals bringing our new distribution center to life. 🛠️ Yesterday, we witnessed an impressive feat as helicopters lifted HVAC units to the rooftop—a breathtaking reminder of the skill and collaboration driving this project forward. A special shout-out to Schneider Heating & Air Conditioning Inc. for their HVAC expertise, Kish & Sons Electric, Inc. for handling the electrical systems, and 𝗠. 𝗠. 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘇 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗴 for installing the roofing system. And don’t worry—there’s still plenty of room on the rooftop for a sleigh full of reindeer to touch down! 🦌🎄 Here’s to building the future, together! #GratefulSeason #FirstSupply #BuildingTheFuture #SupplyYourFuture

First Supply was proud to have our very own Chief Strategy Officer, Seth DePuy, share his insights as part of the Modern Distribution Management (MDM) Profitability Summit—a virtual conference focused on helping wholesale distributors and manufacturers navigate today’s competitive market by optimizing margins, reducing costs, and driving performance. During the summit, Seth joined industry experts to discuss strategies for fostering profitability and maintaining resilience in changing market conditions. He shared how First Supply’s approach balances market realities with innovative tools and consistent inventory availability, ensuring stability and success for our customers. A highlight of the discussion was Seth’s perspective on profitability as more than just numbers— it’s about creating #value for our customers. Whether through innovative tools like our e-commerce platform or a focus on customer education, we are committed to helping our partners achieve success. It was an honor to see Seth represent First Supply’s commitment to building strong, mutually beneficial #relationships that create lasting success for our customers and their businesses. Events like this showcase how we continue to evolve to meet the needs of those we serve. #DistributionLeadership #ProfitabilityStrategies #InnovationInDistribution #FirstSupply #CustomerValue #MDMSummit
