NPP and WPMA Join Forces to Support Fueling Western America
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) December 17, 2013 -- National Purchasing Partners (NPP) and the Western Petroleum Marketers Association (WPMA) have teamed to offer members special pricing on a wide array of products and services.

“The mission of WPMA is to assist members in increasing their business effectiveness and profitability,” says its Gene Inglesby, WPMA Executive Director. “Our partnership with NPP will enable our members to save money and improve their bottom line.”
NPP is a nationwide Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) with multiple contracts that help energy companies reduce their costs and improve their margin. NPP is a free and voluntary program, and member companies are welcome to choose which contracts they wish to access. NPP’s large membership volume ensures top tier contracts and rates.
