BELOIT, Wis., Aug. 20, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- For the third consecutive year, ABC Supply Co. Inc. has been honored with the prestigious Partners of Choice Award from David Weekley Homes, the nation's third-largest homebuilder, for receiving an "A" rating in quality
ABC Supply, currently celebrating its 25th anniversary, is the largest wholesale distributor of roofing in the United States and one of the nation's largest distributors of siding, windows and other select exterior building products.
The Partners of Choice Awards are based on the homebuilder's National Trading Partners Survey, in which 150 suppliers are rated in quality and service by team members from throughout the company. Each quarter, 250 different team members are surveyed, for an annual total of 1,000 associate reviews. Partners of Choice Awards are presented to suppliers who maintain an "A" rating in quality or service, or an "A, A" rating in both quality and service, for the previous 12 months.
ABC Supply is one of only 18 companies to receive the award this year.
"This award recognizes the demonstrated performance of ABC Supply, and the time and energy they've invested in building a relationship with us," said Bill Justus, vice president of supply chain services for David Weekley Homes. "They not only talk about quality, but deliver on that promise."
"Receiving this award three years in a row, as ABC Supply has done, is a significant achievement, particularly when you consider that the scores required to receive an 'A' rating have increased by an average of 18 percent per year," Justus continued. "Being a three-time winner shows that ABC is continuously taking steps to improve the quality of its offerings."
"We are honored to again be named a Partner of Choice," said David Luck, ABC Supply's president and chief operating officer. "Our mission is to 'make it easy' for contractors, and this award is a sign that we're doing the right things to live out that mission. The survey also gives us valuable feedback that we will use to deliver an even higher level of service to our customers."
