Network Distribution, a global distribution organization, and Packaging Distributors of America announce the closing of their strategic alliance. Effective immediately, Network will begin the transition of PDA's members, customers, and suppliers, with completion expected by July 1, 2026.

This partnership represents a defining milestone in the distribution industry—one built on strategic alignment to deliver value to customers and suppliers across every market segment Network serves. 

The combined organization will operate under the name Network Distribution, with Alan Tomblin serving as President and CEO.

“At the heart of this alliance is a mutual commitment to growth. Both companies have long recognized that local distribution is critical to our success, and sustainable expansion is achieved through deliberate investment in people, structure, and culture,” says Tomblin. “The alliance leverages the financial strength, supplier relationships, and operational discipline of two industry leaders to create a broader platform capable of servicing the wide-ranging packaging market.”
