Thomas & Betts U.S. and Canada recently received the coveted "Supplier of the Year" award from WESCO International for the second consecutive time. WESCO (NYSE: WCC) is one of the most highly respected electrical distributors in the world, known for its business savvy and proactive marketing and sales approach.
"Winning this award twice is unprecedented and, I believe, unparalleled recognition of the world-class focus and team work that keeps T&B at the head of our industry," said Dominic Pileggi, chairman and chief executive officer. "This award is the best validation of our Brand of Choice and Supplier of Choice efforts that we could ask for. I couldn't be prouder of our company."
WESCO recognized both the U.S. and Canadian electrical businesses for their support of WESCO on all levels, from cooperation between both companies' top management all the way through to how T&B sales and customer service works with each branch location. T&B's support for WESCO goes beyond the usual catalogs and brochures. The two companies work closely together including strategically planning how to best penetrate targeted vertical markets and key accounts; going on joint field marketing and sales calls; and creating mutually beneficial marketing and incentive programs. Together, the two companies have enjoyed solid growth in key markets over the past few years.
The award was presented during WESCO's annual marketing meeting that drew more than 500 attendants, including more than 150 suppliers.
"We have cultivated a great relationship with WESCO over the years and this award recognizes the value of this partnership to both parties," said Peter Feruglio, WESCO national accounts manager for T&B in the United States.
Reg Clark, vice president of industrial sales for T&B Canada, echoed Peter's sentiments. "We could not have won this award without the management of both companies demonstrating their commitment to grow our business together. Our mutual sales organizations believed in the plan and worked more closely than ever in the past two years to exceed our goals. The results speak for themselves."
"My congratulations go out to the entire T&B global team on this well-deserved industry leadership award, said Brian Herington, president, U.S. and Latin America Electrical business. "The only way to win an award of this caliber is to listen to the customer, understand their needs and execute flawlessly. T&B has proven again that this is our forte."
WESCO International, based in Pittsburgh, Pa., has over 400 full-service branch locations, 7,000 employees and serves more than 100,000 customers worldwide.
