The EIS Executive Committee wishes to congratulate all of our EIS team members for this recognition. We are certainly proud of this accomplishment and look forward to your collective effort to move us further "up the list" in the future. Most of you know the difficulty in categorizing EIS in the distribution arena due to the niche nature of the businesses we are in. "It feels terrific to receive this recognition and we are enthused that we would also place 21st in the aggregate list of all Industrial Distributors once we demonstrate to the folks at MDM that we deserve this consideration too" said Larry Griffin, Senior VP of Marketing.
