To thank you for your business and add value to your MDM Premium subscription, MDM offers bonus content each month exclusively to premium subscribers.

This month we feature comments from a host of distribution executives, investment bankers and financial advisers on the current M&A market. Their insights range from a broad overview of the market to why buying is more effective than building to red flags that might appear when pursuing a target to the importance of cultural alignment. Commenters include the CEOs of Anixter International and HD Supply, which just pulled off one of the industry's biggest deals of 2015.
