Having done business with General Distributing and the Bliss family for 46 years I consider them a “partner”. I can always count on good service, knowledge, and quality products. As a “partner” they provided equipment service to my company when we had a project that involved using a customer’s equipment that was not working. General Distributing, at their own expense, spent hours servicing equipment they had not sold in order to keep my company producing without cost to me. That’s service. That’s called dedication to making sure customers are successful. I count on General Distributing every day of the week year in and year out.
