Synergy Group’s Biennial Sales Meeting Includes OPL Tour, Dealer Awards

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Manufacturers and dealers of products from the Synergy Group, comprising Pellerin Milnor Corp., Chicago Dryer Co. and American Dryer Corp., gathered here at the Omni Hotel Sept. 3-5 for the group’s biennial sales meeting. The “Synergy VIII” event was presented to give attendees the chance to review product lines and discuss industry technological innovations.

Attendees toured the Omni Hotel’s on-premises laundry, which makes use of Milnor PulseFlow® Technology and two Chicago® ironers, according to Pellerin Milnor. After the tour, Dan Piotrowski, Omni Hotel general manager, and Anthony Scalera, laundry manager, spoke to attendees about their experiences working with Synergy Group companies.

Presentations from industry consultants covered the sales process cycle, starting from RFPs and quoting, moving into installation, setup and customer support.

Finally, an awards presentation recognized dealers as well as individual salespeople. The David J. Costabile President’s Award, reserved for the top dealer in the Synergy network, was awarded to Derek Ward, senior project manager, Pellerin Laundry Machinery Sales Co.

“I am very grateful to be recognized with what is without a doubt the highest sales award that can be achieved in this industry,” Ward tells American Laundry News. “I feel extremely blessed to be allowed to serve my customers and represent on a daily basis the many hardworking men and women at the Milnor, Chicago and American Dryer factories.”
