Named "AGENT OF THE YEAR" by Network Services
ACME PAPER & SUPPLY NAMED "AGENT OF THE YEAR" BY NETWORK SERVICES, A NATIONAL DISTRIBUTOR
WITH $7 BILLION IN SALES
Savage, MD
Network Services Company, one of North America's largest association of independent distributors
servicing the health care, food service, housekeeping and facilities maintenance industries with
$7 billion in sales, has named Acme Paper & Supply Co, Inc., its "Agent of the Year."
The announcement was made by Dave Smith, vice president of sales who oversaw the selection
process, at Network's annual meeting in Albuquerque, NM.
Network's Agent of the Year award is based on the team performance of a company in customer
service, national account sales and national account development.
In the presentation to Acme, the company was cited for its "outstanding performance in securing
and servicing national accounts" for Network. During the past twelve months, Acme, with its
headquarters and a warehouse in Savage, Md., and an additional warehouse in Richmond, Va., has
been responsible for bringing to the association's member companies four new national accounts
with annual sales of $12 million.
Presently, Network's 80-member distribution organization operates nearly 400 distribution
facilities servicing more than 750,00 customer locations with name brand products of over 100
leading manufacturers. The member companies provide housekeeping and maintenance supplies,
industrial packaging, disposable goods, paper products and health care items.
The national companies brought in by Acme are involved in supplying food service to hospitals
and cafeterias, as well as health care products, janitorial supplies and disposable goods to a
wide variety of institutions and businesses.
"Acme was evaluated as being head and shoulders above every other company in Network in meeting
the criteria for the award," said Smith. "In fact, Acme has consistently been in the top four of
the 80 organizations that belong to Network and their success in winning Agent of the Year is
reflective of their excellent top-to-bottom performance as a company."
Acme's president and founder Edward Attman termed the award "a gratifying indication of our
active participation in Network Services, our industry's key grouping of leading companies, and
of how we have always worked hard to boost the welfare of our fellow members in this important
association." Acme has been a member of Network Services since 1990.
