FAQs

We have been managing the marketing, purchasing, and distribution efforts of Arlington Industries, Carolina Wholesale, and Digitek combined for the past two years. We feel that combining our efforts to one focused brand will allow us to provide more programs, solutions, and services without interference from our own competing brands. The name ARLINGTON was selected as we feel it maintains the most recognition of our three brands in the marketplace.

No – none of the companies were sold. In fact, Carolina Wholesale Group has owned Arlington Industries since 2004 and purchased Digitek in 2016. The decision was made to merge the 3 brands to 1 name to provide all reseller partners a focused approach to our valued services and solutions. This change has been announced in 2018 and will go into effect January 1, 2019.

Larry Huneycutt has been the sole owner of the Carolina Wholesale Group (CWG) since 2000 after being owner of Carolina Wholesale Office Machines since the early 1980’s. Larry has been the owner of Arlington Industries since CWG purchased them in 2004 and has been the owner of Digitek since his acquisition of them in 2016. Larry Huneycutt has been and will remain the sole owner of ARLINGTON.

You will begin to see new programs and enhanced products and promotional offerings as the new blended ARLINGTON.  

Yes.  In fact, the combination of our three distribution brand will allow our employees to focus programs to all resellers, provide more expansive vendor programs, and extend more valuable sales resources to our customers than ever before.

We understand our personal care and partnership with your Account Manager is one of the hallmark strengths of ARLINGTON.  If you have an Account Manager of choice you should continue working with them unless otherwise notified by them or ARLINGTON.

If you’ve been doing business with two or more of our distribution brands previously, your Account Manager will provide you more details regarding which account number to use moving forward.

This change should not result in any adverse pricing changes to your account.  Any unforeseen price changes would most likely be the result of vendor/industry price changes.

Customers who previously had multiple accounts will now carry an aggregate credit limit.

We have combined our accounting departments internally so you can work directly with the ARLINGTON accounting department regarding any open account issues from Arlington, Carolina Wholesale, or Digitek.
