Huebsch presented Metropolitan Laundry Machinery Sales, Inc. with the manufacturer’s highest honor – the 2016 Distributor of the Year – at a ceremony held June 5 at the Foundation Room inside the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. This is the 13th time the company has won the award.

“Huebsch distributors consistently lead our industry in quality of service to customers,” said Kathryn Rowen, North American sales manager for Huebsch. “So, in winning this honor for the 13th time, Metropolitan truly stands out as the best of the best.”

The company also was recognized for Top Sales Achievement, Top Regional Sales Growth (Northeast) and being a Million Dollar Distributor.

“Marc Katzman and the entire team at Metropolitan embody the level of professionalism that exemplifies who a Huebsch distributor is,” Rowen said. “They go above and beyond to partner with their customers every day, and it shows in their performance year after year.”

Metropolitan last won the Huebsch Distributor of the Year Award in 2012.

“This award is an incredible honor, and one that is earned by every member of the staff at Metropolitan,” said Marc Katzman, president and chief operating office of the distributorship. “We pride ourselves on representing the Huebsch brand with the highest level of integrity. Each day, we work to earn the trust and respect of our customers with every interaction, whether it’s in sales, service, parts or answering questions over the phone.”

Based in Richmond Hill, N.Y., and serving the Northeast since 1968, Metropolitan Laundry Machinery is the largest Huebsch distributor in North America. The company also has a branch office in Union, N.J.
