Carl Koerner

We must set our company apart by setting the standards by which others are judged.

We believe that we must provide our customers with a combination of five things they cannot get anywhere else:

  • The quality products they want
  • The dependable services they expect
  • The sharing of ideas they need to promote sales
  • The competitive pricing they deserve
  • Our strong passion to ensure our partnership grows

At Koerner Distributor, Inc., community involvement is a way of life. As members of the communities we serve, we have an obligation to help make them better. We are very active in giving back through contributions of our time, talent, and treasure.
