Taylor-Wharton conducts first-ever Distributor Council
August meetings convened in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania
MECHANICSBURG, PA (September 6, 2007): The Taylor-Wharton business unit of Harsco GasServ hosted its first-ever Distributor Council Meeting on August 22nd-24th at the GasServ headquarters in Mechanicsburg, PA.
A diversified representation of Welding and Gas Distributors from around the country participated in the round-table forum. Jeff Clay, T-W’s US Distribution Sales Manager, hosted and moderated the discussions throughout the three day conference. Mr. Clay commented that, “All here at GasServ certainly appreciated the distributor input and perspective that will ultimately result in identifying specific programs, processes and improvements that T-W can implement to assist the Welding and Gas Distributor to grow their businesses. We believe it is of mutual benefit to continuously involve the Distributor in framing our approach to a sales and marketing agenda that adds value to both sides of the partnership.”
Scott Boyd, Vice-President of Sales & Marketing, noted that, “The meeting also served to further refine the responses from the industrial gas community to the industry-wide survey conducted by T-W earlier this year. The survey focused on the products, procedures, policies and people that form the core of a mutually beneficial Supplier-Distributor relationship.”
