AFFLINK Officially Endorses DistriPakUSA™
Founded in 1977, AFFLINK will help increase the show’s visibility in the marketplace among its member distributors and preferred suppliers/manufacturers. “The endorsement will help DistriPakUSA reach many more manufacturers/suppliers and distributors interested in the packaging marketplace,” said Bill Frohlich, NPTA Alliance President. With 530 distributor locations around the country, AFFLINK will assist in getting the DistriPakUSA message out to their members and preferred suppliers/manufacturers. AFFLINK’s members will also be exposed to a tremendous amount of packaging opportunities in just three days time at DistriPakUSA. Clearly, this endorsement is a win-win for both AFFLINK and DistriPakUSA. Jim Walker, Vice President of Packaging for AFFLINK said, “DistriPakUSA will be valued by AFFLINK’s preferred suppliers and distributor members. We view the new show as an important venue for trading partners to meet, and for all to learn more about this important business segment.” DistriPakUSA will give AFFLINK an opportunity to educate its members and introduce them to new opportunities in industrial and foodservice packaging. AFFLINK members will look to expand their industrial and foodservice packaging business at DistriPakUSA. Many janitorial and sanitary supply companies, who also belong to AFFLINK, want to sell into the packaging marketplace and DistriPakUSA finally gives them the forum to explore such opportunities. Recent statistics from ISSA assert that one-third of these distributors sell into the industrial and foodservice packaging marketplace, and another one-third will want to investigate these new opportunities. AFFLINK will have the opportunity to host a booth at DistriPakUSA, hold meetings for their members, and will be featured in the promotional material and on the web site for DistriPakUSA. NPTA Alliance President, Frohlich added, “Gaining the support of AFFLINK indicates how important DistriPakUSA will be to their members businesses. They know that a substantial percentage of their members sell packaging in combination with maintenance supplies and want to support their members in the packaging business. We couldn’t be more pleased.” For more information, visit www.distripakusa.com or contact Larry Drago, Show Manager, at 800-355-6782 ext. 14 or e-mail at larry@distripakusa.com.
