Our #9 pick is DGI Supply, which uses consolidation as a long-term business strategy that integrates the needs of the organization with a technique to troubleshoot the challenges of an aging workforce in a still-thriving industry.

DGI Supply, the distribution arm of DoALL Company, brings 75 years of manufacturing and distribution experience to the marketplace with its primary goal of saving customers money. DGI Supply is a national/international company with revenues exceeding $300 million and inventory in excess of $30 million. DGI Supply provides customers with a selection of 1,000,000 SKUs from every category and from the highest quality manufacturers in the industry. In business since 1927, the company has 49 sales offices in North America and is the most recent winner of the Industrial Supply Association’s American Eagle Award.
