Big news for the independent channel.
I'm excited to share that Current Distribution Group/ Luxury Products Group (LPG) and AVB/BrandSource have announced a new alliance designed to bring together the best of both organizations.
For LPG and Current Distribution Group members, this means access to AVB's industry-leading technology, e-commerce, and digital marketing platform. For BrandSource members, it opens the door to LPG's luxury decorative plumbing, lighting, and hardware vendor programs and showroom expertise.
What excites me most is that this isn't about changing who we are—it's about giving independent businesses more tools to compete and win while maintaining their independence.
When organizations with complementary strengths work together, everyone benefits:
✅ Better technology
✅ Stronger vendor relationships
✅ Expanded buying opportunities
✅ Greater support for independent retailers
This partnership represents an important step in helping independent businesses thrive in an increasingly competitive marketplace, and I'm looking forward to what we'll accomplish together.
Thank you to everyone at AVB, BrandSource, LPG, and Current Distribution Group who helped make this possible. The future is bright.
