Distribution Management Named HP Partner of the Year

Nashville, TN (March 24, 2025) — Distribution Management (DM) was recently selected to receive two HP Partner of the Year awards at HP’s AMPLIFY Partner Conference. AMPLIFY is HP’s largest partner forum, bringing together HP channel partners from around the world. The Partner of the Year awards recognize top-performing HP partners for collaborative efforts and strategic growth throughout the previous year. Distribution Management was honored as the U.S. Supplies Distributor of the Year as well as the U.S. Print Hardware Distributor of the Year.

Distribution Management, formerly known as Supplies Network, has had a long-standing reputation as a leading HP supplies distributor. In recent years, the shift in the channel toward hardware distribution has allowed DM to apply its well-established reliable service, category expertise, and 1 to 2-day delivery reach to the distribution of print hardware to reseller partners.
