How it All Began 

American Distribution and Manufacturing Co. began with Tony Duclos, Sr., in 1936, under Newport Feed. The company was in the business of selling livestock feed products on consignment from vendors. Also, Tony Sr. worked in the evenings at Seiger Refrigeration in St. Paul, MN, to provide cash flow for his new business. By doing this, he set a remarkable example of hard work and dependability for the family that would follow in his footsteps and take the company to greater heights. 

Carrying the Legacy 

The sons of Tony Duclos Sr., Gary and Tony Jr., built upon the foundation by creating a wholesale distribution and manufacturing company known as American AGCO, Inc. The family’s third generation expanded the company’s service area to include the upper Midwest and diversified its product offering to include a range of Farm & Fleet, Pet, and Wild Bird & Wildlife products. To take the company forward by ensuring timely deliveries, they created an independently operated trucking company known as American Logistics Services in 2000. In the same year, American Distribution & Manufacturing Company was established to demonstrate further the diversity of its mix of products and services.

Expansion 

With the fourth generation coming on board, the company’s evolution continued. Thanks to the support of highly capable staff and tenured employees, AMDC has implemented the Brand Management concept, expanded to nine cross-dock facilities, added a second Distribution Center in Texas, and expanded its service area to include the eighteen states of the Central United States from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico.
