We at MDM have rolled out our December 2025 issue of Premium Monthly — packaging last month’s Premium content into one convenient PDF. 

This issue includes five feature articles from the holiday-shortened month, along with our regular news roundup and Market Profile snapshot. Those articles cover the following:

This issue’s content contains articles that cover:

  • How Singer Equipment built a disciplined M&A engine with culture at its core
  • How Stellar Industrial turned documented cost savings into a market-defining value-proposition
  • Crane Group’s recent sale to private equity and lessons for distributors entering the 2026 M&A cycle
  • Our monthly MDM Forecast
  • Our monthly M&A Roundup
  • and more!

Besides those articles, our December issue includes:

  • Our Industry Digest of the news we covered throughout the month on distributors, manufacturers, associations, service providers and more
  • A Market Profile on Adhesives – providing a snapshot of U.S. demand by geography and within its top end markets

All of that is now available in our December Premium Monthly report, which is now available. Premium subscribers can download it from their Premium Dashboard (or just click here), and non-subscribers can purchase it here in the MDM Store.
