The Independent Carton Group (ICG) has presented its 2020 Supplier of the Year Award to W. H. Leary Co., Inc. during the ICG’s quarterly meeting held on August 5th. The ICG and its members rate over 30 suppliers on a biannual basis on a series of criteria including:
- Timeliness of delivery;
- Quality of materials;
- Quality of service;
- Expertise of staff;
- Contractual compliance;
- Administration/Invoicing accuracy;
- Compliance with shipping instructions
- Reporting & Payments.
Through the evaluation process, ICG leadership works with national account managers from all their suppliers to improve the quality of service each supplier brings to ICG members.
“The bottom line is to get ‘Best-in-Class’ suppliers serving our members,” says Jay Willie, ICG Executive Director. “That is what this awards program is helping to assure our members of. Especially in 2020 with all the COVID restrictions and supply chain challenges, all our suppliers came through for our members but Leary really excelled.”
In receiving the award during the virtual meeting Kevin Leary, President and CEO of W. H. Leary said, “We are incredibly humbled in receiving this award, the Independent Carton Group means a lot to us. We were all incredibly challenged in 2020, but we move forward together. We are grateful to receive this prestigious award and I hope that Leary continues to help ICG members to reach their goals and objectives while earning their respect.”
