Today’s business environment requires distributors to constantly pursue opportunities that improve the efficiency of their fleet operations. At Orion, Mich.-based Powers Distributing, this pursuit of efficiency pre-dates the economic roller coaster of the past decade and extends into other areas of the business.
The grandfather of the company’s current co-presidents, Robert and Gerald Powers, founded the distributorship in 1939. Today, the company distributes MillerCoors products for the northernmost two of the three counties that make up the Detroit metro area. Operating with more than 200 employees, the company’s fleet has more than 40 drivers.
