"This year marks a historic milestone for all employee owners at DSG," said Paul Kennedy, president and CEO of DSG. "Over DSG's many years, we've seen a lot — from wars, depressions, recessions, and global pandemics, as well as rapid technological innovations across every industry we serve, and despite our age, we feel young, vibrant, and energized."

DSG's strength comes from within — a people-centric organization that is passionate about serving others, from their fellow employees to the thousands of customers, and the various communities they operate in, DSG's foundation is built on respect, teamwork, and growth. Over the last several years, DSG has seen tremendous growth through a combination of strategic acquisitions, opening new locations, and organic growth in all seven industry verticals they serve.

"Our success over the last 125 years would not be possible without our amazing team of employee-owners, our loyal customer base, and the partnerships from our vendor community. I am beyond proud of what we have accomplished and where are going, and looking forward to using the momentum of our history to propel us forward — We're 125 years young and I feel we are just getting started," said Kennedy.
