We at MDM have rolled out our August 2025 issue of Premium Monthly — packaging last month’s Premium content into one convenient PDF. 

This issue includes eight feature articles, along with our regular news roundup and Market Profile snapshot. Those articles cover the following:

• An analysis of why tariff-driven inflation is only just now starting to show up in the broad economic figures for wholesale distribution
• What distributors should know about extended producer reliability laws
• Inside ORS Nasco’s continued M&A expansion
• The second of our three-part deep dive on ADI Global Distribution, detailing how it scaled to position itself for its pending spinoff from Resideo
• Future-proofing sales compensation with smarter strategies for a volatile market
• Dissecting why The Home Depot is buying GMS for its second building materials distributor acquisition in about 18 months
• Our monthly distribution M&A roundup, which provides a breakdown of year-to-date dealmaking activity by product vertical and how the pace of M&A compares with a year earlier
• Our latest MDM Forecast that projects distribution revenues for 19 different product sectors through 2026

Besides those articles, our August issue includes:

• Our Industry Digest of the news we covered throughout the month on distributors, manufacturers, associations, service providers and more
• A Market Profile on Adhesives – providing a snapshot of U.S. demand by geography and within its top end markets

All of that is now available in our August Premium Monthly report, which is now available. Premium subscribers can download it from their Premium Dashboard (or just click here), and non-subscribers can purchase it here in the MDM Store.
