Comments from Trupply

Asif Ehtesham, CEO of Trupply, said, “I started Trupply from my house, with my family deeply involved in coming up with the name and supporting me during the initial stages of the company. Trupply grew from an unknown company to being recognised by key players in the Houston area, all thanks to the hard work of my employees. Over the years, everyone at Trupply has worn different hats and done everything from inside sales to outside sales, order processing, warehouse management, delivery, and pretty much anything to keep customers happy and maintain Trupply’s good standing with them.”

“The key moment in my decision was when I met the BUHLMANN executive board in Germany and felt that BUHLMANN holds the same values – taking care of employees, customers, and vendors, and providing a good working environment for its employees. It was about time that I reward the hard work of my employees by working for a reputable company and taking Trupply to the next stage under BUHLMANN’s umbrella. I am happy that the process went smoothly and my entire team at Trupply is very excited and motivated to make this a success for BUHLMANN,” Ehtesham added.
