Company History
Max Sessions started Sessions Specialty Company in Winston-Salem, NC in 1946 after serving his country for 4 years in the US Army Air Force. He was a brilliant and honorable family man that led many industry changes in the wholesale distribution of general merchandise. One thing that did not change is the foundation on which he built the business. That is to be truthful with all those concerned, honest and accurate with every transaction while valuing your customers as your partners.
Steve Sessions joined his father in 1974 and began establishing brands of high quality general merchandise in order to be our customer’s exclusive source for their growing needs.
Successful long term relationships with domestic manufacturers led Sessions Specialty Company to be selected by many USA factories to distribute their health and beauty care, automotive and other convenience store products to nationally.
Shortly after expanding to our present location in Lewisville, NC, Ben Sessions came to give solid direction to the company’s future. Ben had the benefit and privilege of working with his grandfather, Max Sessions, a few years before our founder passed at 99 in 2013. Ben has successfully added several product categories broadening our company’s range of distribution while staying focused on providing the best service and products for our customer’s financial success.
