HARRISBURG, Pa., April 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — D&H Distributing, a major provider of SMB and consumer technologies to the North American high-tech channel, announces it has been recognized by multiple IT industry and channel media companies in both the US and Canada in the past six months, making a strong showing as the company moves forward in 2021. Notably, the company climbed three spots on the Forbes\u2019 List of America\u2019s Largest Private Companies to #103. In addition, the distributor won Top Benchmark Survey Broadline Distributor for 2020 in the ASCII Group\u2019s annual distribution survey. D&H also added a new executive to the ranks of its CRN Channel Chiefs winners for a total of four honorees this year. The distributor won a Top Display Distribution Growth % award from Samsung, and came in second place in eChannelNEWS\u2019 \u201cReseller Choice Awards\u201d for Best Specialty Distributor.<\/p>\n

As a result of the merger of IT distributors Tech Data and Synnex in March of this year, D&H is positioned to become the third-largest broadline distributor in this market. These accolades demonstrate how responsive D&H has been to the escalating needs of its partner base, providing critical support and effective services as the industry adjusts to the ongoing rigors of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re honored to be recognized by our partners and manufacturers, in addition to the vital media organizations that cover our marketplace, especially in such an unprecedented year. The awards are a testament to D&H\u2019s ability to meet demands in a complicated market through our customer-centric service model,\u201d said D&H Co-President Dan Schwab. \u201cWe\u2019ve worked tirelessly to accelerate our services over the last decade, resulting in recent product sales growth that is four times that of the general distribution market. The goal was to not only help our partners weather COVID-19, but to cultivate new opportunities, complement their offerings, and help position them to excel.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cD&H has historically helped SMB partners grow and move up-market as business opportunities arise. We have also seen great success in supporting the needs of many larger, mid-market solution providers. These partners are drawn to D&H\u2019s ability to provide exceptional business experiences and outcomes,\u201d said D&H Co-President Michael Schwab. \u201cWe\u2019ve made key investments in the past 24 months, from a new corporate campus with advanced technical resources, state-of-the-art training facilities, to expansive marketing resources, to the extension of $225 million per month in downstream credit extensions for partners. These actions, along with the hiring of many talented individuals, have equipped D&H to scale with the market, and to sustain an ongoing trajectory of double digit-growth. We are thankful to the many manufacturers and channel partners who trust D&H each and every day to deliver their products, services, and solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n #103 on Forbes\u2019 List of America\u2019s Largest Private Companies 2020: <\/strong>D&H rose three spots this year, placing just outside the top 100 on this esteemed list of corporations.

The distributor is one of only 11 companies from its home state of Pennsylvania to make the list, ranked as the fifth-highest company in the state, up from sixth-highest in 2019. Of those five top PA businesses, D&H is the only one with fewer than 1,500 employees to achieve this position. As a front-runner on this list, D&H is in the company of American institutions like Hearst, Pricewaterhouse-Coopers, Mars, SC Johnson, Ernst & Young, and Cargill.<\/p>\n
