BOX Partners Recognized for Operational Excellence by Grainger

Partners in Performance awards celebrate suppliers who exceed company performance expectations.

BOX Partners was recognized with Grainger's 2022 Partners in Performance Award. Grainger, the leading broad line distributor of maintenance, repair and operating supplies, presents the award to a select group of suppliers for outstanding performance throughout the year.

Grainger's Partners in Performance Award honors suppliers who achieve excellence in several categories, including responsiveness, information integrity, on-time shipping, variability, management commitment and order fulfillment.

"We are proud to receive this award from Grainger and its recognition of our employees' dedication to serve our customers with fast delivery of a wide assortment of quality packaging products," said Neil Thomas, CEO of BOX Partners. "We strive for excellence in everything we do to support the success of our partners."

Grainger suppliers receive ratings throughout the year on their performance in each category. Of Grainger's more than 3,500 High-Touch Solutions suppliers, fewer than 1 percent are chosen to receive these awards.

"Grainger is proud to recognize BOX Partners among a select group of suppliers who add value for the customers and communities we are privileged to serve," said Matt Fortin, Group Vice President, Merchandising and Supplier Management. "Partnership is key to our success, and we want to thank BOX Partners for their exceptional support of our mutual customers."
