Interline Brands, Inc. was created when Wilmar, Barnett and Sexauer — sharing a common set of goals — merged into one organization. Each of these former companies managed different catalog titles or “brands” that market a wide range of MRO (maintenance, repair, and operations) products to many different types of customers in the U.S. and abroad.Because our customers trust these brand names, Interline allows each brand to maintain its identity and loyal customer base. At the same time, each of Interline’s brands can now make significant improvements in sales, efficiency, technology, and customer satisfaction by being part of the Interline family. For example, we can now offer same-day or next-day delivery of the products in all of our catalogs to customers across North and Central America via our many distribution centers. Today, Interline Brands is a clear leader in the distribution of MRO products, and each of our brands can take advantage of our many resources.
