History
Edney Distributing is a family-owned wholesale distribution company founded by Fred and Ferne Edney in Huron, South Dakota, in 1951.
As the business grew, their sons Milton and Dale joined, and eventually, Milton's son Doug joined as well, starting in the warehouse and working his way up to CEO, President, VP, and Territory Manager.
Most recently, Doug became Edney's Board Chair, handing off the CEO role to his daughter Jennifer. Jennifer originally joined the company in an organizational development role and has served as a VP and the company's President, providing her with the knowledge and experience to lead Edney forward into a bright future.
Doug and Jennifer are both past Presidents of the Equipment Marketing and Distribution Association (EMDA).
A true family business, Jennifer's brother, Brian, and her cousin, Noah, have also contributed in various roles before their careers led to work in other industries.
Just like Doug, Jennifer's son Alex was handed a broom in the warehouse three summers ago. He is currently working for the company as a Part-Time Operations Associate while pursuing his college degree.
