DoALL realigns

Staff -- Purchasing, 8/11/2005

Industrial products supplier DoALL has realigned the company into two primary business units: DoALL Global Industrial Supply (DGI Supply) and DoALL Sawing Products. DoALL is based in Des Plaines, Ill.

The DGI Supply division, headed by senior vice president David Crawford, is focusing on distributing industrial supplies and providing integrated supply solutions, including commodity management programs. Jim Carey, vice president of sawing products, is leading the DoALL Sawing Products division that provides dedicated sales and service support for DoALL manufactured products, including the company's band saw blades, sawing machines, cutting fluids, and material handling systems.

"In 2004, DoALL made a $650,000 investment in new communications technology for our national call center," says Crawford. "We appointed additional regional managers, retrained support personnel and enhanced the warehouse and logistics systems to provide one- or two-day delivery anywhere in the continental U.S."

The company also redesigned its website and is working to further enhance its online ordering capabilities, according to Crawford. "We've largely completed a new master catalog that will be available later this year. With all these upgrades and enhancements to our distribution capabilities, we found it appropriate to recognize the evolution of our business with our new name, DGI Supply."

The DoALL Sawing Products unit maintains the widely recognized DoALL brand name and logo. "We are now able to offer our program of quality manufactured products to select independent distributors as well as supporting DGI Supply as a major distributor," says Crawford. "We remain the only North American manufacturer that offers all elements of the sawing operation, and we will provide our distributors and end users with the highest quality sales support and service."
