HOUSTON — Lute Supply, headquartered in Portsmouth, Ohio, received the Harold V. Goodman distributor award during a ceremony held in conjunction with Goodman Manufacturing Co.’s annual distributor meeting at the Inter Continental hotel in Houston. Lute Supply is a family-owned third-generation wholesale distributor with multiple locations in Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Indiana.
To qualify for consideration to receive the award, an independent distributor must have a minimum of 15 years of service as a Goodman and/or Amana brand distributor, consistent sales growth year-over-year, maintain inventory management excellence, deliver best-in-class customer service to HVAC dealers, and invest consistently in distributorship improvements.
“Lute Supply has demonstrated a continuous commitment to excellence as an HVAC distributor. Our long-term association with Lute Supply has resulted in a very stable relationship,” said Pete Alexander, senior vice-president, Independent Distribution, when presenting the award. “I thank them for the past loyalty to our company and look forward to many, many more years of partnership with this organization.”
Lute Supply is only the sixth distributor to receive the Harold V. Goodman Award in the last 25 years.
