Associated Construction Distributors International, Inc. (ACDI) was founded in 1968 when a group of independent, entrepreneurial businessmen came together and realized they had much to offer and much to learn. Sharing business information continues today at the core of the organization. It has allowed the members to succeed individually and as group. ACDI distributors account for over one billion dollars in the sale of materials and equipment to the construction industry.

WHAT IS THE ACDI?
The ACDI is a co-operative association of independently owned and locally operated distributors of specialty construction products and equipment.
