Dealers and distributors are the direct link between the manufacturer and contractors. Building materials distributors carry products specific to the wall and ceiling industry. They form relationships with contractors that will likely span the careers of many companies. Dealers and distributors are also crucial to problem solving, suggesting new products, assisting in product delivery, providing installation assistance as a service, and so much more. Contractors often cite the immeasurable value of a direct and hands-on relationship with their local distributors.
