“We believe in the adage that no matter what our lot in life, we should build something on it,” said David Reid, chief operations officer. “There are much larger competitors, but thanks to our capable team, we can be proud of our past results as we strive for future growth. We are especially grateful to all our channel partners, including customers, suppliers, APSG associates, and particularly our team members for their unwavering dedication to outstanding customer service.”
