Our strategy is to strengthen our leadership position by growing our share with existing and new customers, expanding our margins, and identifying and successfully integrating accretive acquisitions. To accomplish this, we strive to:
Profitably grow the sales and service channel;
Grow sales with new and existing distributors;
Serve "pro" customers through a broad retail base
Build upon existing European operations while developing international capabilities; and
Expand through selected acquisitions.
We began to implement our acquisition strategy in fiscal 2010, and have since completed and integrated three acquisitions. Our long term growth strategy continues to focus on identifying and integrating accretive acquisitions, growing organically in targeted end-markets, expanding distribution and retail channels, driving manufacturing synergies, and continuing to improve operational efficiencies through diligent supply chain management and purchasing consolidation.
