      Strategic expansion and longstanding relationship
      For APH, the partnership represents both a strategic expansion and the continuation of a longstanding relationship.
      “We are honored that Don and Tim chose to join the APH family,” said Corey Bartlett, CEO and owner of APH. “S&W Supply and Warehouse Inc. share our customer-first mindset and commitment to service, making this a strong fit as we grow into new markets. We’re excited to welcome their team and build on the impressive business they’ve created.”
