The Big 50 and overseas business

摘要

In this issue (p. 30), we once again present INDUSTRIAL DISTRIBUTION'S Big 50, the annual listing of the largest industrial distributors. Traditionally, this is one of our best-read articles—more than 125,000 people clicked on to our Web site to read the Big 50 last year. There are several new entrants on the list this year, and it will change again next year due to several mergers and acquisitions that have already occurred.
