The “Supplier of the Year” is chosen by Pronto members “in grateful appreciation for going above and beyond with continuous delivery of quality products, service and sales support to the members of National Pronto Association.” Accepting the award on behalf of Centric were divisional sales managers John Beale and Ande Schultz.
