LATICRETE Named CDTA Supplier of the Year
BETHANY, Conn. – LATICRETE International Inc. is the Supplier of the Year, as named by the Ceramic Tile Distributors Association (CTDA).
The award from the premier group of independent tile and stone distributors in North America was announced on the opening day of the Coverings’15 show held in Orlando last month.
The award was presented by CTDA Executive Director Rick Church and accepted by Ed Metcalf, president of the LATICRETE North American Division, during an April 14 ceremony on the Coverings show floor.
“This award was earned by every LATICRETE team member who takes pride in their work – at every location – from our receptionists to our shipping clerks and to every person in every role in between,” Metcalf said. “These are the people who have earned this recognition, and in their names I gratefully accept it.
“On behalf of the entire LATICRETE team, I would like to thank the CTDA and its members.”
The CTDA Supplier of the Year is selected based on results of blind balloting by CTDA members who named their top suppliers and ranked them in terms of innovation, quality, service and other measures. LATICRETE was judged to be the best among its peers and continues to develop innovative products that support distributors.
“It is indeed a great honor to accept this award on behalf of all of my friends and colleagues at LATICRETE International,” said Metcalf. “We are many individuals worldwide united in a common mission – to provide world class products and services to our customers and industry partners around the globe.
“We consider it a humbling validation of our founding principles that the membership of the CTDA have selected LATICRETE as Supplier of the Year. We highly value the true partnership and trust that we share with our customers, and strive daily to be worthy of their longstanding support.”
The award presentation was followed by a reception which included other U.S. tile trade associations.
