No way private companies such and stern and these distributors will ever share profit margins with anyone but their banks, accountants or the owners of the company. But I bet the margins are much less than you'd think.

Quoted from Toasterdog:Typically companies that have smaller margins sell much more product or have a boat load of competition. I think they're larger than you think.
I'm thinking 25%ish with considering indirect costs as well. Much more than that, then good for them. That's impressive.
Quoted from usandthem:So the laborers at Stern are living way too extravagantly on their $9.00/hr.?
That's not what he meant by labor being expensive. Labor is usually one of the top expenses on a companies income statement, no matter what they are in business for.
