People, New Directions
"Pro-Link
is definitely expanding its business operations and
sophistication," says Paul Lemieux, the company's CEO.
"Starting in 1984 with just a few distributors, we now
have 70 members. To continue our growth-and help our
members succeed-we are hiring the best marketing minds
we can."
According
to Lemieux, Pro-Link began as a few distributors, combining
their purchasing power to reduce procurement costs.
"Today, however, we have adjusted to meet the more demanding
needs of our members and the industry," he says. "We
now help our members with a centralized purchasing function,
field sales support and training, marketing support,
as well as a national accounts program."
Lemieux
adds the company expects to announce more additions
to its staff in the near future.
