As it transitions through a rebranding, industrial distributor cooperative IDCO announced the addition of two new distributor members.

Shared Jan. 30, IDCO said that it is in the process of co-branding as The Hoser Network, which will eventually lead to a full rebrand.

Milwaukee-based John M. Ellsworth Co. distributes fluid management products across various industries including petroleum, chemical, agriculture, oil and gas, sanitary, food and beverage and fire. Established in 1974, the company provides customers with a wide range of name-brand products.

“JME is excited to expand relationships with fellow distributor members and suppliers, leveraging IDCO’s resources to grow our business, enhance professional development, and engage in best practices,” JME Tim Ellsworth said in IDCO’s news release.
