DistributionNOW is honored to rank on Modern Distribution Management’s Top Distributors List for 2022, MDM’s 13th annual ranking of the top North American industrial, construction and commercial product distribution companies.
Data for MDM’s Top Distributors are based on 2021 revenues, either reported publicly, through surveys MDM conducts annually or estimated by MDM’s researchers. In most cases, [MDM] used fiscal 2021 revenues, but in some cases, MDM uses calendar-year revenues for a more accurate comparison. To normalize the way we formulate the rankings, we include total company revenues, rather than break out individual sector revenues.
For companies that don’t want to share revenue data publicly, MDM triangulates relative rank position for each list based on a combination of factors. These factors include: number of branch locations and/or employees, confidential reporting by specific companies, and guidance through a wide range of industry veterans that include suppliers, former employees and competitors to provide as accurate as possible in developing this type of industry competitive profile. Though [MDM gets] requests from companies that would prefer not to be listed, [MDM feels] it would damage the accuracy and value of this annual benchmarking tool.
