HARDI distributors report January revenue increase
HARDI’s monthly TRENDS report shows average sales for HARDI distributor members increased by 12.2% in January. The average annualized growth for the 12 months through December 2016 is 9.2%. The association noted this is the strongest annual pace since 2011 when comparing against the end of The Great Recession.
“HARDI distributors started 2017 at a fast clip,” HARDI Market Research & Benchmarking Analyst Brian Loftus said. “The reported gain was helped by one extra billing day and being compared against a soft January 2016.”
