The Refinish Distributors Alliance, founded in 2008 by seven members, was established as a national association of independent distributors, who sell automotive paints and allied products primarily to collision repair shops.
The purpose of the group was to organize a platform for sharing ideas in a non-competitive environment, define best practices, and to proactively advocate as a resource for the independent jobber.
RDA Members themselves are premium PBE distributors known for their integrity and committed to success – their own, and that of their suppliers and customers. The current membership of RDA represents approximately 496 locations from New England to Hawaii, with over $800 million in annual sales!
RDA has expanded to include support staff, who accommodate added member enhancements like group discount purchasing, exclusive branding (private label products), marketing programs, monthly publications, product and technical training opportunities, webinars, networking events – and much more, all exclusive to the membership.
A powerful incentive for our members is inclusion in a select national organization of independent PBE distributors, who have the added leverage that comes from being part of a larger group with the same ideals and goals!
