Washington, DC – The Working Families Tax Cut is strengthening the distribution industry, creating new job opportunities, and expanding pathways for advancement for American workers. NAW extends its appreciation to the Trump Administration and leaders in both the House and Senate for advancing pro-business and pro-worker policies. 

Across the country, distributors are using this tax relief to grow their businesses, invest in their workforce, and reinforce the critical supply chains that power the U.S. economy. Key provisions include the permanent 20% small business deduction, full expensing for research and development, and 100% bonus depreciation. 

“This is what thoughtful, pro-growth economic policy can achieve,” said Eric Hoplin, President and CEO of NAW. “We appreciate the leadership that made this policy possible and look forward to continuing to support policies that drive growth, investment, and opportunity.” 

For many businesses, the impact is already clear: 

“We’ve grown from 12 employees to more than 360, driven by sustained investment in our people and our culture,” said Jim Derry, CEO of Field Fastener. “Policies that support business growth make it possible for companies like ours to expand, create opportunities, and build a workplace where employees thrive.” 

“As a multigenerational, family-owned distributor operating on tight margins, tax policy directly impacts our ability to invest in our workforce and our business,” said Kathryn Poehling Seymour, CEO and President of First Supply. “When policies support growth, we can continue strengthening our company and the communities we serve.”
