Affiliated Distributors Announces Latin America Expansion

Affiliate Distributors

 Affiliated Distributors (AD), the largest industrial and construction products buying and marketing group in North America, has announced plans to expand into Latin America. Strategic recruitment in Mexico, Brazil and Colombia will be initial countries of focus for AD. Over the next few years the group will expand to additional countries in Central and South America and other strategic markets around the globe. 

Leading the expansion is Carlos Garcia Ramirez, AD’s new Managing Director and VP of Latin America. Prior to joining AD, Carlos served as Panduit’s Managing Directors of Latin America, Caribbean, Europe and the Middle East.  

According to Tim MacDonald, President & Chief Executive Officer of Ideal Supply Co. Ltd. and an AD board member, “Creating a group in Latin America that supports Independent distribution will be good for Distributors and Suppliers in that region, the same way AD has strengthened market share for Member Distributors and Supplier Partners in the U.S. and Canada.”
