LAS VEGAS — Huebsch, a brand of equipment manufacturer Alliance Laundry Systems, presented Metropolitan Laundry Machinery Sales Inc. with its highest honor, the 2016 Distributor of the Year award, at a June 5 ceremony here at Mandalay Bay Hotel, the company reports.

This is the 13th time that Richmond Hill, N.Y.-based Metropolitan has won the award.

“Huebsch distributors consistently lead our industry in quality of service to customers,” says Kathryn Rowen, North American sales manager for Huebsch. “So, in winning this honor for the 13th time, Metropolitan truly stands out as the best of the best.”

Huebsch says the “best of the best” position showed in the company also winning awards for:

“This award is an incredible honor, and one that is earned by every member of the staff at Metropolitan,” says Marc Katzman, president and COO of the distributorship. “We pride ourselves on representing the Huebsch brand with the highest level of integrity. Each day, we work to earn the trust and respect of our customers with every interaction, whether it’s in sales, service, parts or answering questions over the phone.”

“Marc and the entire team at Metropolitan embody the level of professionalism that exemplifies who a Huebsch distributor is,” Rowen says. “They go above and beyond to partner with their customers every day, and it shows in their performance year after year.”

Metropolitan last won the Huebsch Distributor of the Year Award in 2012.
