“The exceptionally strong results we’re experiencing in the first half of 2021 are setting the stage for a record-breaking year,” says AD’s Chairman and CEO Bill Weisberg. “When we see growth in member purchases from AD suppliers outpacing total sales, it serves as a powerful indicator that our community of members and supplier partners finds great value from preferentially supporting each other.”
