LBM Advantage honors vendor partners

New Windsor, New York-based LBM Advantage has announced its “Vendor Partner of the Year” honorees.

The award winners, to be officially recognized at the buying group’s Annual Meeting and Trade Show, March 13-15, at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, are:

• National Gypsum, commodities;

• Huttig Building Products, millwork;

• MasterBrand Cabinets, kitchen and bath; and

• Top Notch Distributors, specialties.

The criteria used to measure and identify these winners includes their manufacture of quality products, increasing market penetration and excellent customer service, the company said.

“Their willingness to consistently support the co-op’s strategy for mutual benefit sets them apart,” said Tom Molloy, VP, building products.

The LBM Advantage – formed in early 2015 with a merger of ENAP and PAL -- is describing its Orlando event as an “anniversary show,” marking 130 combined years of ENAP and PAL.

The buying group announced in January a plan to acquire Smithfield, North Carolina-based Independent Builders Supply Association.
