‘Do What You Know’
As a second-generation wholesale distribution company, Rick Lubker (Owner and co-founder) and Jim Carrigan (co-founder, retired ’24) did “what they knew” when deciding to join together to create Lubker Distribution.
Following years in the Industry, Rick as past President of Lufasco, Inc. and then as VP of Operations for Purchased Parts Group, and Jim as Facility Manager of Lufasco, Inc. and Operations Management at Purchased Parts Group, they began their new venture by first building a business model focused intently on adding VALUE to the supply chain. They knew that to be a “Best in Class” value-added supplier, they needed to embrace all three tangents of distribution: Customer, Supplier, and Employee.
The Customer remains #1, but a very close second is the supply base and the employees. Lubker remains committed to the promise of meeting every customer expectation, every supplier obligation, and to providing unmatched benefits and security to the employees.
Since the beginning in September 2002, Rick has remained committed to the same VALUE driven goal. His expertise in distribution management, information technologies, quality assurance, and customer service has guided him through numerous continuous improvement projects, ultimately leading Lubker Distribution to the forefront of distribution excellence.
