Today the role that ITWAL serves with our shareholder/members has evolved significantly since ITWAL began over 40 years ago.

Positioned as a selling group, ITWAL provides a functional, value-added relationship not only between our members and suppliers, but also our members and their retail and foodservice customers. The ITWAL objective is to advantage our member distributors by enabling them to compete effectively for the business of their retail and foodservice customers.

This ITWAL Advantage is delivered through the significant consolidated buying and logistical capability of ITWAL.

Translated, this means that the ITWAL member can:

1) Buy more effectively
2) Operate more efficiently
3) Increase inventory turnover
4) Deliver maximum fill rates


The advantage for their customers over and above the value-added benefits of dealing with a full service distributor, means:

1. Competitive pricing on a complete range of retail and foodservice products.
2. Fresher product
3. Reduced out-of-stocks
4. Consolidated orders, consolidated receiving and billing.

ITWAL has evolved by extensively remodeling its infrastructure with respect to its centralized distribution and information technology capabilities. Adapting to the changing market place whether driven by member customers, manufacturers or government means that ITWAL is constantly addressing emerging issues on behalf of its member distributors.

ITWAL’s Mission will continue to be that of reinforcing the profitability and at the same time, delivering the sales and distribution objectives of our suppliers.



UNITED WE ARE STRONG!
