Bill Delaney, president of family-owned specialty building products distributor Distributor Service Inc., Pittsburgh, PA, and current president of the North American Building Material Distribution Association (NBMDA) recently spoke with MDM Associate Editor Jenel Stelton-Holtmeier about the association, and trends, challenges and shifts in the building materials industry.
Delaney’s father founded Distributor Service Inc. in 1968; Delaney grew up in the business, which was a traditional two-step distributor serving independent lumberyards. During the 1980s, the company transitioned to industrial products and customers.
