Huebsch Names HK Laundry Equipment 2013 Distributor of Year

RIPON, Wis. — Commercial laundry equipment brand Huebsch named HK Laundry Equipment, Armonk, N.Y., its 2013 Distributor of the Year during its annual conference, the company reports.

“We are excited to name HK Laundry 2013 Distributor of the Year,” says Kathryn Q. Rowen, Huebsch North American sales manager. HK Laundry has been a Huebsch distributor in the Connecticut and New York area since 1967, providing vended and on-premises laundry equipment, parts, service and repair.

The award for Distributor of the Year is based on “sales achievement, customer service and professionalism on behalf of the company,” Huebsch says.

HK Laundry earned its first Huebsch distributor award for its “adoption of Huebsch brand values—from taking Alliance Laundry Systems University classes, to attracting new investors through social media and marketing—[making] the organization a leader in the Huebsch distributor network,” Rowen adds.

Accepting the award was Karl Hinrichs, president of HK Laundry Equipment. “At HK Laundry, our sales model is based on consultative sales … We strive to educate our customers on operating the best Laundromats possible by equipping their stores with the most efficient and durable commercial laundry equipment available.”

Huebsch also named Pierce Commercial Laundry Distributors, Mandeville, La., its Newcomer of the Year, and presented Metropolitan Laundry Machinery Sales, Richmond Hill, N.Y., the award for Top Sales Achievement.

“These new awards highlight the distributors that have been especially successful in the past year,” says Rowen. “Pierce and Metropolitan are both committed to doing great business and embody Huebsch values, resulting in impressive service and sales.”
