At VNA it is our vision to be our customer's competitive supply advantage. We focus on delivering competitive pricing, superior services, and a Total Cost of Ownership package, which clearly allows us to make an impact on our customer's bottom line.
VNA is a stand-alone sales and service organization focused on securing and servicing electrical MRO and factory automation needs of industrially oriented national account type customers.
VNA is a thriving, 100% distributor owned organization with funding provided by 49 leading North American Allen-Bradley distributors. It is the strength and multi-year commitment of these companies that will promote and sponsor the intelligent growth of VNA.
As a member owned organization, our members are directly involved in the accounts that are related to their business. The organization is not in business to make a profit based on our contracts with customers. Instead, it is focused on providing the opportunities to our participating members to make a profit as they service and support national account customers. To achieve this goal, VNA operates primarily as a service organization for its members, and performs specific sales, marketing, and IT functions designed to maximize economies of scale, minimize cost, and maximize member value to our customers.
Over a short timeframe, VNA has evolved into a market leading business solution for electrical supply national contracts. We are located in the greater Boston, Massachusetts's area and are very engaged with our member's customer base. Our distribution channel consists of 49 separate distributor companies with over 500 distributor branch locations in the US, Canada and Mexico. Our channel includes current Allen-Bradley distributors, who alone have over 100,000 customers. Our combined channel sales volume is estimated at $7 Billion dollars. Our sales solution also includes a strong Minority and Diversity Supply offering.
VNA is an independent company operating as a Delaware "C" corporation. Our management team consists of a seasoned group of well-known and industry-respected executives, hand-picked for their ability to make our vision a reality. They have the years of experience in this type of business. Our company is the first of its nature to have a 100% focus on electrical supply contracts for industrial customers only. Electrical is our ONLY focus. It is also the only company staffed from top to bottom with electrical industry talent focused on driving contract value and support.
