Now in its ninth year, the annual NPW Million-Dollar Vendor award dinner took place Jan. 28 at the EAST Hotel in Miami. The black-tie affair was created to honor the company’s suppliers who’ve reached at least $1 million with the auto parts distribution business. This year’s dinner featured a record 41 million-dollar vendors, up from an inaugural nine charter members in 2012, doing business with the family owned NPW. As has become tradition, vendors were treated to cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, a surf-and-turf dinner and bananas foster for dessert. Check out Babcox Editor David Sickels’ coverage of this year’s event, here.
