rrm, you are the guy that needs to catch up on DD. If you had a BlueLinx catalog for their "Concrete Reinforcement Products" you would see that the company name "Plasticon" is NOT in it. There is one page with "Bar supports - Plastic" that shows plastic products similar to what Plasticon sells. Go to the BlueLinx website and show me "bar supports - plastic" or Plasticon. This shows me that Plasticon either does not have a good brand name or that BlueLinx does not want to be tied down to having PLNI as a sole supplier for these types of products. If you knew the basics of distribution, you would know that a distributor will switch suppliers in a heart beat if he gets a better deal from another manufacturer. I happen to know a large manufacturer (injection molding and extrusions)that has a national salesforce, excellent product website, well financed, and sells through distribution that is currently looking at rebar support products. By the way, this manufacturer does not allow their products to be displayed in a distributors website or catalog without their brand name.
