Huebsch Names Gulf States Laundry Machinery 2014 Distributor of Year

RIPON, Wis. — Vended laundry equipment manufacturer Huebsch has named Gulf States Laundry Machinery Co. its 2014 Distributor of the Year.

Pravin Parmar, co-owner of Gulf States, along with principals Harish Parmar, Ben Prema and Sales Manager Jack Hunt, accepted the award for “outstanding sales achievement, customer service and professionalism” on behalf of the company during the Clean Show in Atlanta.

“Gulf States Laundry Machinery has demonstrated exemplary customer service and sales, serving as a model of others to follow,” says Kathryn Rowen, Huebsch North American sales manager.

Gulf States was previously named Huebsch’s 2011 Distributor of the Year, establishing the company as a “leader in the Huebsch distributor network,” adds Rowen.

“I was completely stunned when I found out that we won this award a second time—it’s a tremendous honor,” says Pravin Parmar.

The distributorship was founded in 1984 and is headquartered in Houston. Gulf States began offering coin and on-premise laundry equipment roughly five years ago, with the Huebsch brand as Parmar’s equipment of choice.

He lauded the company’s customer experience and team of professionals, who he says are “responsive, flexible and dedicated to helping our business grow.”

“Gulf States consistently reinvests into their business, showrooms, personnel and websites,” Rowen adds. “They are always customer-focused and undeniable, consummate professionals.”

In addition to its Houston location, Gulf States has an Atlanta branch office, providing services to customers in southern Texas and Georgia.
