Building Material Distribution In

Predictions of the death of distrbution channels are as old as distrbution itself. Butwhile other industries have seen massive consolidation, the supply chain serving the housing industry remains fragmented-and, in fact, has survived numerous attempts at disintermediation over the past half century.

ln this seminar, we'll draw from over 50 years of industry research and dozens of case studies to examine how and why the channel has consistently defied experts' predictons; explore threats and opportunities facing manufacturers, distributors, and dealers; and identify viable strategies for the coming decade.

Greg Brooks, CEO of the Building Supply Channel, Inc. and editor and CONSTRUCTION SUPPLY, is a nationally-recognized speaker on distribution trends who has conducted seminars for thousands of executives throughout North America.
