Orgill Revenue and Competitors

As you may have heard, Orgill, Inc. has agreed to acquire certain assets of Wright & Wilhelmy Co. effective 03/31/2006. I'd like to address what this means to you, as a current Wright & Wilhelmy customer. In many ways, you will have the best of all worlds: Dealing with people you know and trust who are now able to bring you tremendously enhanced service, assortment, and pricing options. A number of key Wright & Wilhelmy sales and management staff will be joining the Orgill team, including Darcy Michalek, Harold Ronnfeldt, and the entire sales force. Each of the sales representatives has already completed a full week of very rigorous training and they are prepared to discuss the advantages and the process of becoming an Orgill customer. There are a number of similarities, as well as some significant differences between the two companies. Like Wright & Wilhelmy, Orgill has a long tradition of service to independent hardware dealers. Founded in Memphis, Tennessee in 1847, we are still privately owned, and have provided continuous service to the hardware industry for nearly 160 years. Orgill is one of the four national home improvement distributors, and is currently the largest independent hardware distributor in the world. Over the past decade and a half, we've grown at a faster rate than any other hardware distributor in the industry, and currently serve customers throughout the United States and in 60 foreign countries. We operate five major distribution centers strategically located across the country, each providing our customers with immediate access to over 60,000 SKUs. Our singular mission at Orgill is to help our customers be successful. We strive to accomplish this by combining a high level of operational efficiency with a complete product range, extremely competitive pricing, and maximum flexibility in everything we do. As we move forward, we are eager to show you the benefits of doing business with Orgill. We are confident that you will be pleased with the enhancements in our product selection, pricing and services we will be able to offer you. If you have any questions regarding any of this information, feel free to call me or Brett Hammers, Vice President of Marketing at 1-800-347-2860, ext 416. Thank you for your support of Wright & Wilhelmy. We look forward to growing that relationship with the many enhancements now available to you.
