For the third year in a row, Superior Equipment Sales, Inc., took home “The EVPY - Exceptional Preferred Vendor Support Yearly” Award from BLUE HAWK purchasing cooperative. The award was presented last week at the national conference in Orlando.

This award is given to the top 10 percent of members based on how many vendor partners their purchases support. Superior Equipment Sales was ranked number 16 for purchasing from 64 Blue Hawk Vendor Partners during 2014.

Superior is among 230 member companies across the country that take advantage of the opportunity to work with the BLUE HAWK purchasing cooperative to bring their customers the wider variety of products and discount volume pricing that comes with a larger pool of customers.

BLUE HAWK is a purchasing cooperative of HVACR Distributors, with core product categories of air conditioning, heating, ventilation, hydronics, tools, supplies and accessories.

According to its website, “BLUE HAWK was established to ensure the survival and growth of the Independent HVAC/R/R Distributor. The existence of BLUE HAWK allows independent businesses to use their combined purchasing power to attain competitive pricing for the goods and services they use.

At a time when the relentless expansion of manufacturer owned distributor networks and large corporation-owned distributor chains is intensifying, independently owned operations have turned to BLUE HAWK to help level the playing field with these large competitors.”
