Getting a jump on the year?

With the February chill still in the air, David Gordon of Channel Marketing Group, on his Electrical Trends blog, takes a shot at predicting Electrical Wholesaling's movers and shakers for the year (headline says 2013, but we assume he meant 2012 ... then again David's always been a forward thinker). He picks some good candidates - IMARK's expansion with the addition of Crescent Electric and Power & Telephone Supply, and ABB's growth in North America with its acquisition Thomas & Betts last month (and Baldor last year). Will it be the Year of Acquisitions? Time will tell.
