Laticrete Recognized !

Ron Nash (V.P Sales & Marketing N.America), Rob Smith (Director, Sales N.America)
 and Ed Metcalf  (President N.America)

This week at Coverings, LATICRETE was named Supplier of The Year for 2014 by the membership of the Ceramic Tile Distributors Association - the premier group of independent tile and stone distributors in North America.

This award is the result of blind balloting by CTDA members who named their top suppliers and ranked them in terms of innovation, quality, service and other  measures.

Just as LATICRETE has twice been ranked #1 by end-users in the bi-annual Clear Seas study, we have now been recognized and honored by key distributors. This is truly a rare distinction for us to have been so honored, and is a testament to the results of our teamwork and commitment to excellence.

Following are comments offered by Ed Metcalf in accepting this award:

"It is indeed a great honor to accept this award on behalf of all of my friends and colleagues at LATICRETE International.

We are 1500 individuals worldwide united in a common mission - to provide world class products and services to our clients and industry partners around the globe.

We consider it a humbling validation of our founding principles that the membership of the CTDA have selected LATICRETE as Supplier of the Year.

We highly value the true partnership and trust that we share with our clients, and strive daily to justify their longstanding support.

This award was earned by every LATICRETE team member who takes pride in their work - at every location - from our receptionists to our shipping clerks and to every person in every role in between.

These are the ones who have earned this recognition, and in their names I  gratefully accept it."

Congratulations to all and thank you for the commitment you demonstrate which accrues to our team's success.

Good Grades Pay Off

Is this young man happy, or what ?

 Dear Mr. Rothberg:

Good evening.  Here is a picture of my son Jared with his new iPad which he purchased by saving all of his Congratulatory gift cards sent to him by Laticrete for his straight A report cards.  He was quite proud of his purchase and how he earned the award.
This program is a wonderful way for a company to support our children and encourage them to perform.  As an HR professional who has worked with several company programs, I am very pleased to see this type of family support from Laticrete. Your personal notes from the CEO are a wonderful touch as well.
Our daughter, Savannah, has been looking forward to her fourth grade year so she can participate in the program as well.  Many of their friends have told them they wish their dad worked for Mr. Joe's company!  Great.

From a proud and thankful mother,
Thank you,
Tammy Raybuck Still

A note from Jared:
Dear Mr Rothberg, thank you so much for the Amazon gift cards. It was a great incentive for me to get straight A's. I have enjoyed playing with my brand new iPad and using it for school-work. This is now a Great incentive for me to get straight A's again.

Thanks,
Jared Still
Note of explanation:
Laticrete sends Amazon gift card awards to children of company employees who receive straight A's on their school report cards. Each report card with straight A's receives an Amazon gift card!
