Middle-market wholesaler-distributors are growing, but that growth—and the optimism that accompanies it—is tempered by a number of influences including faltering economies in Europe and elsewhere, rising commodity prices, competition from low-cost-country vendors, the continued housing crisis, health care law and uncertainties over which administration will lead the country following the November election. These are the findings from a complimentary Distribution Monitor report, sponsored by the NAW Institute for Distribution Excellence and McGladrey, an assurance, tax, and consulting services provider.
