Web-Don, Inc. proudly celebrates 37 years in the laminate and solid surface countertops industry and counting. Among its greatest achievements have been gaining recognition as the 1997 Wilsonart Distributors of the Year, reaching a 10% yearly sales growth for the past 20 plus years, and turning a small business into a mega-success.
Web-Don, Inc. originally took off in Charlotte, NC, in 1972, as a Wilsonart distributor, though Web-Don, Inc. was originally one part of a two part business. Neighbors Webster Collett and Don Smith first owned and operated C and S Distributors, which was a Florida Tile distributor. Buck McQuay joined the men in '72 with a $20,000 loan he had taken out from his local bank. At the time, McQuay was only 32, and taking on such a business venture was a definite risk. But it proved successful.
Collett and Smith, who were most interested in Florida Tile, operated C and S Distributors, while McQuay operated Web-Don, Inc., the side of the company handling all the Wilsonart business. By 1973, C and S had closed its doors as growth in Wilsonart came in leaps and bounds. Smith also bought out Collett, and from that point until 2005 McQuay and Smith ran Web-Don, Inc. McQuay bought out his partner in 2005 and is the sole owner of Web-Don today.
Within a few years, Web-Don, Inc., had added other manufacturers and even more locations in Winston and Raleigh. The company's history still was not without its rough spots, though. In the 70s, employees of Web-Don, Inc. had their work weeks cut back to four days, because the funds to pay for the additional work day were not in the budget. Salaries were also cut by 20% for a few months, but the company was adamant about doing everything possible to avoid layoffs.
That has paid off, too. Out of its 100+ employees, 30% of the current Web-Don, Inc., work force has been with the company ten years or more. And the low turnover is only one of Web-Don, Inc.'s boasting points; they also stress promotion from within and a comfortable working environment for all their employees.
With such outstanding leadership from within, it is easy to see why expansion has further been on the rise. There are now Web-Don, Inc., locations in Columbia, SC, Johnson City, TN, Wilmington, NC, and a 60,000+ sq. ft. headquarters in Charlotte was built to accommodate growing business with the company's 4,000 plus customers.
Web-Don, Inc., attributes its growth to outdoing competitors in one major area-carrying the full product line from vendors and an aggressive inventory line.
The company has high hopes, desiring expansion throughout the southeast where deliveries can be made quickly and productively with the least amount of wait time necessary. Most of all, though, Web-Don, Inc. strives to maintain the family values and the small business style loyalty and camaraderie that helped it survive the tumultuous 70's, the growth in the crazy 80's, to grow even bigger in the 90's, and to achieve a true pinnacle of success and staying power in the new century.
