Co-President
D&H is run by the Schwab family that founded the company 100+ years ago. Our Co-Presidents have grown up in the business and earned a lifetime of experience in the process. They are engaged in our daily operations and connected to our team members and partners. This family culture has permeated through the company - to us, this isn't just business, it's personal.
employee-owned partnership driven
As an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan), we aren't just employees, we're co-owners. This means we have a different level of investment and commitment than you'll find at other distributors. And because we aren't a huge global enterprise, we can operate with a partner-first mentality, making decisions that will benefit you most, focusing on what is important - growing our businesses together.
