About Australian Industrial Supplies
The need to compete against national and chain store industrial supply companies led to the meeting of a number of owners of independent stores in and around Melbourne in December 1996. The objective of this meeting was to ascertain the potential support-base for a buying group.
The AIS group was created in February 1997, and with an initial membership of nine companies, the advantages of combined expenditure and the resultant purchasing power, quickly attracted the interest of national wholesale and manufacturing businesses.
