Sherwin-Williams announced last month it has awarded its Vendor of the Year Award to Preval, a division of Chicago Aerosol.

This is the first time the company has received the prestigious award, which recognizes a small group of suppliers who have demonstrated substantial success in a variety of categories, including double-digit sales growth, high quality and high value products, ambitious new product development and exceptional service and management.

Sherwin-Williams announced last month it has awarded its Vendor of the Year Award to Preval, a division of Chicago Aerosol. This is the first time the company has received the prestigious award, which recognizes a small group of suppliers who have demonstrated substantial success in a variety of categories, including double-digit sales growth, high quality and high value products, ambitious new product development and exceptional service and management.

Peter Sedlak, vice president of Marketing & Purchasing at the Sherwin-Williams Co., said Preval was selected for the award, in part, because of the company’s drive to succeed and the unprecedented success of its relatively new vFan, a portable airbrush system that has been enthusiastically welcomed among professional contractors as well as a number of other industries.

The vFan led to a 12 percent sales gain in Preval’s Sherwin-Williams contracts. And despite the rapid growth in the paint and coatings industry and others, Preval has maintained as one of its core business values an unrelenting focus on quality, value and customer service.

“Somehow they (the Preval Spray Team) can separate themselves from the pack by out-servicing most,” Sedlak said.

Preval, and its parent company, Chicago Aerosol, were recognized with the award at the Sherwin-Williams’ vendor luncheon this month in Nashville, Tenn.

“Winning this award from Sherwin-Williams, one of the biggest names in the paint and coatings industry, validates all of the hard work that we have put into bringing innovative new products to the market and setting ourselves apart from the competition,” said Preval President Sam Averbuch.
