    INDEPENDENT WELDING DISTRIBUTORS COOPERATIVE

    We’re a cooperative that was formed in 1994 to leverage the strengths of independent welding distributor members across North America. Actually, IWDC's roots go back even further to 1948, when an association of distributors (IWDA) was founded that decades later merged with another to become the cooperative from which we grew.

    IWDC Member companies serve a wide range of industries. The common denominator is that these industries look to us for industrial, specialty, and medical gases as well as related equipment, hard goods, and consumables. End-use customers served by our Members benefit from having the unparalleled expertise of a local Member distributor who has access to national-scale purchasing and marketing programs.

    „Independent. Cooperative.”

    Flyers

    Warehouse Distribution flyers are something I am creating on a weekly basis. Whether it is to move stagnant stock or showcasing new products- these flyers serve their purpose. I had a bunch of older flyers to guide me but I chose to go for a more updated theme instead. Just because your industry leans towards boring tables and technical info does not mean you have to leave your creativity at the door!
