Palmer-Donavin Announces Vendor Representative and Vendor of the Year Awards

Palmer-Donavin awarded Mark McNabb and CertainTeed with the Vendor Representative and Vendor of the Year awards for 2021. 

The past 24 months have been challenging for most manufacturers, but CertainTeed showed their commitment to Palmer-Donavin through their collaboration, education and training opportunities, and a true understanding of the market’s needs, according to a company statement. 

Josh Miller, director of purchasing, says, “We're excited to announce CertainTeed has been named our Vendor of the Year. Their team was instrumental to the success we saw in both the roofing and siding categories. This award is very well deserved.” 

The year was challenging with supply chain issues and communication was more important than ever. Palmer-Donavin found Mark McNabb, senior territory manager, and the team at CertainTeed to be responsive and considerably supportive. 

Matt Kaufman, vice president of sales, says, “Throughout 2021, CertainTeed repeatedly expressed the value that they have in partnering with Palmer-Donavin. Mark McNabb continually went above and beyond. He stayed in constant communication, offered additional material when he could, and provided trainings for our group.”  

“Mark McNabb truly understands our business and 2-step distribution,” says, Matt Butzier, chief operating officer. “He continually brings new ideas on ways in which we can improve whether they benefit him or not. He is a true partner.” 

Members of the CertainTeed team and Mark McNabb received their awards at the Palmer-Donavin 2022 Winter Show.
