PORTAND, OR — Johnstone Supply, Inc., held its Industry Leadership Technology Conference recently in Tempe, AZ. Vendors from over 50 companies attended the conference, which focused on key industry issues facing Johnstone and its suppliers. According to Johnstone, the goals of the conference were “to collect information on cooperative and management issues related to vendor service and communication, and to acquire insights from vendors in an open discussion environment.”
“This was the very first time I’ve seen a company do this,” said Dean Anderson, a Honeywell representative. “Johnstone asked, ‘What do we need to do better?’ They are really identifying the steps Johnstone needs to take to lead the industry and be at the forefront rather than just follow.”
