Vermont Business Magazine Bill Orleans, president of PP&D Brochure Distribution has reached agreement with Maxham Warehousing’s president John Morse to acquire the Maxham company’s assets, including their warehouse located in Worcester, Vermont. Maxham Warehousing has provided warehousing and distribution of brochures and magazines to Vermont’s nineteen State Welcome and Information Centers for the last seventeen years. This includes delivery of over two million pieces a year.
PP&D, founded in 1981, will continue to be headquartered on Pine Street in Burlington and utilize the Worcester location for the Vermont State Welcome and Information Centers distribution program.
PP&D currently has ten employees, five vans, and manages over seven hundred brochures and magazine displays in Vermont, New York and New Hampshire. PP&D current clients include: Magic Hat Brewery, Jay Peak Resort, Vermont Country Store, Lake Champlain Ferries, Ben & Jerry’s, Cabot Creamery, Vermont Teddy Bear, and Dakin Farms.
“For thirty-five years, I’ve explained to my customers that PP&D does not deliver to Vermont State Welcome and Information Centers. I am looking forward to changing that and working with the State on this program. It will help all our clients and further expand PP&D,” says Orleans.
Cindy Roberts, Vermont State Welcome and Information Centers Brochure Program manager is pleased to work with PP&D.She reports, “Maxham Warehousing has done an incredible job for Vermont. Having chosen to step down, they will be a tough act to follow. But if anyone is up to it, I have no doubt it’s PP&D. We have worked with them for decades and I know they’ll continue to offer outstanding service to all of our clients and Vermont State Welcome and Information Centers. We are looking forward to many successful years ahead.”
