Remanufacturing Industries Council (RIC)’s Post

Good morning from Puerto Rico! In just 60 minutes, this space will transform into a hub of inspiration, collaboration, and strategic thinking, as 100 dedicated volunteers of the American Supply Association (ASA) gather to chart the course for the next five years. ASA is a powerhouse, representing $57 billion in sales, over 4,300 branch locations, and more than 300 distribution and manufacturing firms. The scale of their influence is truly extraordinary. As I reflect on the magnitude of ASA’s reach, I’m struck by the immense Force For Good each of these businesses represents. They collectively uplift our society in countless ways – from ensuring access to clean water to empowering industrial capabilities. Their purpose is profound, their impact significant, and their potential boundless. Soon this room fills with leaders from companies like First Supply LLC , Coburn Supply Co. APR Supply Co. Pepco Sales and Marketing NIBCO INC. Texas Plumbing Supply Co Inc , Eastern Industrial Supplies, Inc. , Bradford White , Porter Pipe & Supply, Dakota Supply Group, and many others. Together, we’ll embark on defining what’s possible for ASA and the industry over the next five years. Follow along as we explore the future of the industry and how these leaders are setting the stage for innovation, growth, and positive change. It’s moments like these that remind us of the power of collective vision and leadership…. And being a Force For Good! #AmericanSupplyAssociation #Leadership #Strategy #ForceForGood #IndustryImpact
