EVANSVILLE, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 1, 2015--
Berry Plastics Group, Inc. (NYSE: BERY) was recently named TricorBraun’s
2014 Vendor of the Year. TricorBraun annually selects one vendor to
receive this award by using its vendor performance report system, which
tracks the standing of a strategic vendor, and by having its entire
company rate the top four strategic vendors.
Berry Plastics has been a supplier to TricorBraun for more than 40
years, and currently supplies the company with bottles, closures, tubes,
and aerosol overcaps. Berry Plastics achieved this award by excelling in
the following areas:
-
sales representation presence and representation at the branches
-
responsiveness and flexibility
-
total cost competitiveness
-
customer service support
-
proactively involving new packaging, processes, channels of supply,
and communication
“Berry Plastics is proud of our long-standing partnership with
TricorBraun,” said Frank Cassidy, Distribution Vice President of Berry
Plastics’ Rigid Closed Top Division. “Through this partnership, we have
had the opportunity to combine our expertise when designing, developing,
and supplying innovative packaging products to leading CPG companies."
"In the past, it was difficult to determine a ‘TricorBraun Vendor of the
Year’ and recognize one vendor as it might have been viewed more as a
popularity contest than an actual measure of day-to-day vendor
performance,” said Mark Polivka, TricorBraun’s Vice President of Supply
Chain Management. “However, with the implementation of our vendor
performance report system we have good objective data to back up our
claim of ‘TricorBraun Vendor of the Year,’ and thus would like to
congratulate Berry Plastics for winning this coveted ‘Vendor of the
Year’ award for 2014 based on a solid performance and strong
partnership.”
