Klein Tools was presented with Grainger’s prestigious “Partners in Performance” Award at Grainger’s annual supplier conference held recently in Rosemont, Ill. Grainger, a leading broad line supplier of facilities maintenance products serving businesses and institutions throughout North America, presents the award annually to a select group of suppliers for outstanding performance throughout the year.
Grainger’s Partners in Performance Award recognizes suppliers who achieve excellence in several categories, including responsiveness, information integrity, cost control, on-time shipping, management commitment and order fulfillment. Grainger suppliers receive ratings throughout the year for their performance in each of these categories. Approximately 2 percent of Grainger’s 1,200 suppliers receive this award each year.
“Grainger is proud to present Klein Tools with the 2006 Partners in Performance Award,” said Bob Cocks, Grainger’s vice president of merchandising. “Grainger is entirely focused on serving its customers by helping them save time and money procuring supplies to maintain their facilities. We can achieve these goals only with supplier partners who share this same intensity. Klein Tools is one of those partners and we are proud to honor Klein Tools’ commitment to the highest standards of performance.”
“Klein Tools is proud to be a recipient of this commendable award,” said
