To Our Customers, Vendor Partners, and Friends:
Missouri-Kansas Supply Co.,Inc. completed its fiscal year for 2006/2007 on March 31, 2007 and as we look back at our first sixty years as a company there is a strong feeling of accomplishment. The mission/journey we have been on serving Kansas City and surrounding areas has always had at its core a dedication to improve our operations, relationships, and grow with the times. Our current product offering as well as ongoing business success has been in a larger sense not only to our loyal clientele but also our superior vendor partners.
It is in that frame of mind we find ourselves as a company here in 2007. As always we are looking for new opportunities to serve, grow, and re-identify the business direction and goals that are primary to our stake-holders and owners.
Utilizing new technology in data and communications in recent years we at Missouri-Kansas Supply have continued to evolve as a business enterprise. With the use of computers, the internet, and strategic marketing partners such as Affiliated Distributors, supplyFORCE, and the American Supply Association we have extended our service borders to new and potential clients, connected to more suppliers, and in some cases even other distribution. This has been done with desire to strengthen our business, and achieve our ultimate goal to be "The Strongest Link in the Supply Chain."
Along with a dramatic rework of our website we have decided to take a significant step in regards to our company name. As you will notice on the letterhead above we have consolidated our identity to the three basics letters MKS Pipe & Valve Co. This change was made to more clearly identify our company as to our core products and services. Is this a new and bold idea? NO, but we do feel that this change represents the galvanizing of our identity with a forward view of continued growth and service to our customers.
From our perspective we anticipate this change will be a seamless and logical one given our current direction and future growth plans. As always we welcome your input and suggestions to further increase efforts to improve our company. We trust you will enjoy our new look, our bolder and stronger attitude towards service and growth. Our goal is to exceed your expectations and maintain your confidence that with every phone call, fax, email, or visit to our will call desk the essence of Missouri-Kansas Supply will always be contained in "MKS."
We at MKS Pipe & Valve Co. wish the best to you in 2007 and look forward to many more mutually rewarding years of partnership.
Sincerely,
Patrick M. Adams
President
