There are many reasons why Vendors to the welding, industrial gas and specialty gas industries seek partnerships with the IWDC. First and foremost is that the IWDC represents approximately $4.2 billion in retail sales in North America – and we work with our Vendor partners to continually grow their sales. Being an IWDC Approved Vendor has many benefits that go beyond the typical buy/sell business relationships.
The fact is, the IWDC and our Members have a well-established history of strength and stability interlinked with recognition of industry-leading efficiency. We have long been debt-free and continue to maintain the best credit rating and lowest operational costs in the industry.
Perhaps nothing sums up the reason for our strength and stability better than our commitment to upholding the IWDC Mission Statement. It defines our purpose as "integrating the talents of Members and Vendors to provide excellence in products and services to customers as the most innovative and preferred channel to the marketplace."
