Window and Door Manufacturers Hold Breath to Stay Afloat in 2009
Window & Door, the leading magazine serving the window and door industry, has announced its 2008 Dealers of the Year award winners. This year’s program honored two companies as the top Overall Excellence winners. In addition, it recognized six Focused Excellence category winners—window and door retailers and distributors that stand out in the areas of marketing, installation, customer service, retail/showroom program, community service and innovative thinking.
“You won’t see today’s shaky economy reflected in this year’s winners,” says Christina Lewellen, senior editor for Window & Door. “Each company has found its own way to succeed despite challenges in the marketplace. The 2008 Dealers of the Year have a lot to be proud of in terms of their accomplishments to date, and they’re all looking forward to a bright future as well.”
