Not Just Another Award for E.T. Horn
Distribution Company Honored by Behr for Second Consecutive Year.
La Mirada, CA - May 15, 2008 – The E.T. Horn Company, a leading distributor, supplier, marketer, and manufacturer of specialty chemicals, announced that it has won the 2007 Excellence Award presented by Behr Process Corporation. The award is given annually to partners who exceed supply and procurement expectations for Behr while maintaining superior customer service.
“Actually they didn’t win the award again, they earned it again,” said Bill Pompeo, Behr Purchasing Manager. “(E.T. Horn Vice President) Bob Ahn and his team delivered another year of outstanding supply chain management. And since they only represent ‘best-in-class’ principal suppliers, our customers were also assured of obtaining the finest products available.”
E.T. Horn has been a perennial winner of Behr awards, and at this, the 10th annual awards banquet, E.T. Horn’s accomplishment signifies positive progress despite a tricky market situation.
“In today’s economy, we truly need to partner with experienced personnel and management in order to achieve maximum economies of scale,” Pompeo said. “With the increasing cost of transportation and warehousing, it takes proactive, clever and sound business practices to economically deliver new innovative products. E.T. Horn’s commitment to us has been unsurpassed.”
Mr. Ahn, the liaison and architect of the unique supply chain management system summed it up: “We are cognizant and grateful for any award we receive, but bottom line is, we keep grinding away. Our formula of people, product and solutions is fairly simple, yet we’re disciplined enough to know our principals and customers will still ask at the end of the year ‘what have you done for me lately.’”
