This year’s theme—centered around The Hoser Network—recognized not only who we are today, but the reach, power, and momentum we continue to build together. Over the past year, our network has expanded in various ways, including adding nine new member distributors in 2025, seven of whom joined us onsite for their first Expo. Their presence reflected what continues to set IDCO apart: a group of independent distributors committed to shared success, industry expertise, and the strength that comes from being part of a true co-op. From the moment attendees arrived, energy filled the space. The Expo opened with a warm welcome at our New Member Reception, sponsored by PT Coupling, where new members were able to connect with the Board of Directors and IDCO team, setting the tone for a week centered on partnership. Our Show Sponsor and Opening Night Reception Sponsor, Kuriyama of America, kicked off the event with a packed ballroom and an evening that brought everyone together. Throughout the week, members and suppliers came together for 20-minute meetings, productive conversations, and relationship-building that continues to define the heart of the IDCO Expo. Meals and special events were generously supported by the supplier partners who help make this event possible each year. Midland Industries sponsored breakfast, and Flexaust hosted our lunch. On Tuesday, the Building a Culture of Leadership panel—sponsored by MTO—gave attendees a break between meetings. Three of IDCO’s respected leaders shared practical advice, personal stories, and insights from their own leadership journeys. In the evenings, Brennan Industries brought everyone together for Dinner & Bourbon Night—a favorite every time. Dixon Valve and Coupling kept the momentum going on the final night with Game Night, featuring our first-ever Hoser Feud, where members and suppliers teamed up for a fun twist on the classic show. The Women’s Leadership Reception, sponsored by American Biltrite, continued its tradition of creating connections and supporting women within the co-op. At its core, the 2025 IDCO Expo showcased what makes The Hoser Network unique: people. The conversations in the hallways, the new and existing partnerships at the meetings, the laughter shared at events—these moments reflect a community that is collaborative, forward-thinking, and united in helping one another grow.  As we look ahead to the coming year, we carry forward the momentum created in Louisville. The partnerships strengthened here, the opportunities identified, and the ideas exchanged will shape the next phase of what we can accomplish together. Thank you to every member, supplier, and partner who made this year’s Expo great. The Hoser Network is strong because of you—and together, our reach andRead More »2025 IDCO Expo: Celebrating the Strength and Reach of The Hoser Network

This year, that honor goes to Kuriyama of America, recipient of the 2025 Bob Lyons Supplier of the Year Award. Kuriyama has long stood out as the embodiment of a true partner, consistently putting IDCO and its members at the center of their efforts. They go above and beyond in every way, participating fully in IDCO’s key initiatives, providing exceptional products, and building strong, lasting relationships across the network. Their growth alongside the membership year after year is a testament to their value. Selecting a recipient for this year’s Bob Lyons Supplier of the Year Award was no easy task. We are proud to work with so many dedicated, engaged suppliers, several of whom will also be recognized as Outstanding Suppliers of the Year. This year, Kuriyama’s partnership stood out as a clear reflection of the values represented by the Bob Lyons Supplier of the Year Award. Their presence at the IDCO Expo is always a highlight—they’ve served as one of our top sponsors, traditionally opening the show with the welcome event, setting the week’s tone. Their contributions to IDCO U are just as impressive. In summer 2024, they introduced a unique opportunity for members by sponsoring access to 10 professional development courses focused on sales and leadership. In just three months, more than 100 IDCO members completed the full series, demonstrating Kuriyama’s ability to identify and act on ways to support the network. Beyond programs and sponsorships, Kuriyama’s partnership shines through in the everyday work. John Collins, National Accounts Manager, has been a guiding voice in helping shape IDCO’s co-branding efforts around The Hoser Network, offering insights that reflect a genuine understanding of collaboration within the network. Kuriyama recently expanded its distribution capabilities by establishing a 329,000 square-foot Central Distribution Center in Huntley, IL, and a 120,000 square-foot Eastern Distribution Center in Carlisle, PA. These strategic investments enhance their ability to serve IDCO members swiftly and reliably across the country. We are proud to recognize Kuriyama of America as this year’s Supplier of the Year and grateful for their continued partnership, trust, and commitment to IDCO and its members. They are, without question, an integral part of what makes The Hoser Network strong inRead More »Kuriyama of America Named IDCO’s 2025 Bob Lyons Supplier of the Year

The session, led by David Gossett, Thermoid’s Hose Product Manager, provided RGA team members with valuable insights into industrial hose and lightweight belting (LWB) products, covering construction, applications, and target customer markets. The highlight of the visit was a guided plant tour, where attendees observed firsthand the manufacturing process behind Thermoid’s high-quality hoses and belting. Zach DeGroff, Vice President of Sales at RGA, shared his perspective on the impact of the training: “The plant tour helped our people understand the product better. They now know the construction of the hoses, which allows them to suggest the correct style for customers with more confidence. It also improves their ability to diagnose issues, as they now have a deeper understanding of how these hoses are designed to work.” For IDCO members looking to strengthen their understanding of industrial hose applications and Thermoid’s capabilities, this training and tour experience highlights the importance of hands-on learning aRead More »Thermoid Training and Plant Tour: A Hands-On Learning Experience for RGA
