Every year the Company recognizes the one supplier of goods and services who performs more as a partner than simply a supplier. The award this year goes to MJB. MJB supplies wood products to both Marlite and Nudo. They have placed Vendor Managed Inventories (VMI) at each of our locations, and consistently look for great values that allows us to be very competitive in our markets. Accepting the award for MJB is WilliamCorbo and Chris Mosher. Also pictured are Purchasing Managers Rich High of Nudo and Jim Meier of Marlite.

Congratulations to MJB: Distinguished Partner Award!
