Product Code: R406-17331Description Bradco Supply is a leading national distributor of building materials, committed to providing contractors and builders with quality products, competitive prices and the best customer service in the industry. When Bradco first opened its doors in 1966, the roofing distribution business was different than it is today. Manufacturers sold most of their materials directly to customers while distributors serviced ?fill-in? deliveries and customer pick-ups. Manufacturers typically used common carriers for shipping, which often resulted in delivery problems. After hearing their customers complain about the service from manufacturers, Bradco decided to do something about it. The idea was simple. Bradco would purchase its own fleet of tractors and trailers to pick up materials from manufacturers and deliver them to the job site. This innovation effectively revolutionized the delivery cycle and assured every Bradco customer a delivery that was accurate and on time. As the company?s reputation for quality service spread, the business grew rapidly from a small New Jersey distributor to its current position as an industry leader. Despite its growth over the years, Bradco is still managed as a family business with Barry Segal, its founder, serving as CEO; Brad Segal, Barry?s oldest son, serving as President; and Martin Segal, Barry?s youngest son, serving as Vice-President. Even as Bradco continues to expand its locations, products and services, customer service remains its top priority.Table of Contents Please Note: Due to the brevity and/or nature of the content posted, there is no table of contents available for this report.
