“I love the Distributor Choice Awards because they give industry distributors the chance to applaud the suppliers who are the very best product providers in the industry,” said Andrews. “What we’re really honoring with these awards is quality, trust, service and success, all of which were critically important during the most challenging year in the industry’s long history.

During the virtual event, ASI will share highlights from each individual winner’s accomplishments in 2020, followed by short acceptance speeches each winner recorded themselves.
To qualify as finalists in 52 product categories, suppliers must have had at least a 4-star rating in ESP, at least 15 distributors rating them in ESP and be among the top click-getters in the product category. Suppliers could be selected in up to eight of their top product categories, as determined by their share of ESP category clicks.
