ADI recently announced the recipients of its 2013 Vendor Awards. ADI selected Arecont Vision its Vendor of the Year for the United States, and CDVI for Canada. ADI also recognised vendors in the categories of New Product of the Year, Best Sales Support, Best Marketing Support, Rookie Vendor of the Year, and Best Supplier Delivery Performance.
Each year, ADI recognises key suppliers across North America for their support and contributions towards the growth and success of ADI. Vendors are evaluated based on revenue, sales support, marketing initiatives, inventory results and feedback from ADI’s sales leadership team.
The ADI Vendor Awards were presented during the Vendor Symposium at ADI’s 2014 Kickoff Meeting held last month in Amelia Island, Florida. The Vendor Symposium brought together over 500 attendees representing more than 150 manufacturers to celebrate the success of 2013, and outline plans for continued growth through 2014 and beyond. Vendors were given the opportunity to attend presentations by ADI’s executive leadership team including Michael Flink, president, John Sullivan, senior vice president of sales, and Andy Morra, vice president of marketing.
