Sid Harvey’s John Rynecki, senior vice president of sales and marketing; Rich Carbonaro, vice president of purchasing; and company CEO, Sid Harvey, presented the award to Johnny White, CEO and president, Taco, during a recent visit.
“We give these awards on rare occasion, based purely on merit,” Rynecki said. “We routinely deal with more than 300 manufacturers, and it’s quite special when one company exceeds our expectations based on many variables. It’s not like a cookie-cutter evaluation process. Rather, the award is the sum of many experiences, including Taco’s consistent innovation, product design and quality, attention to details; even the rep firms they choose. This recognition resembles a lifetime achievement award more than it does a typical Vendor of the Year award.
