NORTH SYRACUSE, N.Y. — G.A. Braun has been named the 2014 Supplier of the Year by NorthStar Mat Service, a company that supplies mats on a rental basis in the Detroit area. This is the first time NorthStar has presented the award.
“This award is based on meeting and exceeding quality, delivery times, technical support and budgeting goals,” says NorthStar Mat Service General Manager John Sloan. “Since our decision to install Braun laundry equipment in our plant over the last two years, they have shown us that they are capable and willing to work with us to have a long-range advantage to supply a quality product to our customers.”
Sloan tells American Laundry News that NorthStar purchased a new dryer and two new open-pocket washers from Braun and that he is “ecstatic” with their performance.
“It couldn’t have come at a better time,” Sloan says. The company, which has been in business since 1967, has recently experienced a “tremendous growth spurt.” Creating the award allowed NorthStar to recognize a supplier that stood out among the rest, he adds.
“Being awarded supplier of the year by the team at NorthStar meant a great deal to our organization,” says Joe Gudenburr, president of G.A. Braun. “We have been working with NorthStar over the past few years to retool their washroom, and help them realize their business performance objectives. They are a great business partner, and we are very fortunate to work with such a professional client.”
