The IWS expertise in distribution into the Truck Stop, Convenience Store, and Grocery markets is a great addition to the Matthews Group of Companies. Matthews's rich heritage began as a retailer in St. Louis in 1889. Over the past 125 years, the original Matthews Company has diversified into three distinct, affiliated companies; Matthews Book Company, McCoy Health Science Supply, and IWS (International Wholesale Supply).
International Wholesale Supply proudly became part of the Matthews Group of Companies in July of 2011. As a distributor, manufacturer's representative and importer, IWS maintains the highest standards of customer service and product satisfaction.
Matthews has proven itself as a leader and innovator in all of the business entities. Our Client list reflects the stature and diversity of the clients we have extensive experience in serving. Because we have a solid foundation and long history as an integrated group of companies, we are able to spot trends, uncover issues and obstacles, and leverage the most current information across all aspects of the business.
In 1989, the majority owner of Matthews sold 30% of the company to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust (ESOP) for the benefit of the employees. Employee Stock Ownership increased in 1996 and 2004 through subsequent transactions. Today, the Matthews Group of Companies is 100% Employee Owned.
Employee-Ownership has fostered committed involvement, true caring, initiative, ownership thinking, and innovation in our employee-owners. With ownership come rights, responsibility, risks and rewards. At Matthews, taking risks is celebrated and rewards are shared, acknowledging team efforts. Every employee-owner has the right and responsibility to do what is in the best interest of the customer. Employee-ownership has benefited our company, our customers, and our employee-owners.
Matthews Group of Companies has grown the IWS division with the additional acquisitions of Landmark in May 2012 and Star Distributing in December 2012. The addition of these two Direct Store Merchandising Companies continues the IWS growth strategy and extends the IWS service offerings for the Travel Center and Convenience Store markets. IWS fulfills orders nationwide from two facilities located in Lake Havasu City, Arizona and St. Louis, Missouri.
The Employee-Owners of IWS and the entire Matthews Group are focused on Excellence in Customer Service and Satisfaction to IWS, the Customer's 1st Choice!
