NSC FORMS INDUSTRY EXCHANGE GROUP TO BENEFIT MEMBERS

For immediate release-

OMAHA, NE – Today, The National Service Cooperative announced the formation of the Industry Exchange Group (IndEx), a specialized task force dedicated to finding profitable package deals for their members. IndEx is under the command of long-time service industry advocate, Frank Burns. Burns will negotiate favorable terms on behalf of NSC shareholders and NSC Service Partners, as well as form other strategic alliances. Burns also leads the IndEx Advisory Panel, made up of key industry personnel to assist in the development of on-going partnerships and relationships.

IndEx will research all areas of the commercial foodservice industry, so NSC members can take full advantage of these negotiated deals to purchase goods integral to their operation. IndEx monitors service provider needs and selects key targets for negotiation, primarily by direct feedback from its Advisory Panel. Harnessing the combined purchasing power of NSC member businesses, IndEx will offer members the best possible prices. In addition to benefiting all NSC shareholders and Service Partners, this program will be available to other strategic alliances.

Burns said, "IndEx is now working on a number of things to greatly benefit our partners. Leveraging our members’ pooled resources is a powerful tool to lower their costs on items they utilize in their everyday business." IndEx will seek to grow other beneficial programs and invites suggestions for growth avenues. Members will be informed of new programs via the NSC website – www.nationalservicecoop.com. Additional information and announcements will be posted regularly as IndEx grows in breadth and scope. The service industry should be excited about IndEx being able to address and assist with their everyday needs.
