Randy Bowers, SMS Distributions

Randy Bowers founded SMS Distributions about 4.5 years ago after becoming the number one salesperson after 20 years with a competitor. That companies owner passed and when the son took over, he handed Randy his walking papers. He and Henrietta, his high school sweetheart, sold everything they owned and move in with his parents temporarily. About 6 months later, SMS opened it’s doors and the growth ever since has been almost out of control. The team he has assembled is the reason the company has maintained control and reached the heights it has in such a short period.

Aside from his team, unlike his competitors, SMS operates 24/7 to meet the needs of the industries that run all day and night. They are a TOTAL Facilities Supplier and Distributor and are prepared to get you anything you need in the marketplace to run your business more efficiently. His clients come to him for the solutions they

can provide and stay with him because they stand behind their products and are ready at a moments notice.
