Pilkington supplier of the year
Architectural glass fabricator JE Berkowitz has named

May 2011 – Architectural glass fabricator JE Berkowitz has named
Pilkington North America its 2010 Supplier of the Year.

On
April 26, 2011, JEB materials manager, Roger L. Thomas, presented a
plaque to PNA Mid-Atlantic regional sales manager, Rex Tracht. 

PNA was chosen because of its strong technical support as well as its
ability to produce and deliver quality glass products.  “We have a
flourishing partnership with Pilkington, said Thomas, “They consistently
deliver high-quality products and provide outstanding product expertise
and service.”

The partnership between the two companies began in the early 1980’s
and continues today, working together to produce a variety of
architectural glass projects for the commercial building industry.  PNA
supplies JEB with an array of reflective and thermal glass solutions,
including Pilkington Eclipse Advantage solar control low-E glass and Pilkington Energy Advantage low-E glass.  Pilkington glass products are shipped on a regular basis
to the JEB facility.  PNA also supports JEB on high-profile commercial
building projects where large quantities and special size requirements
are needed. 

“The JEB Supplier of the Year award is an honor and an achievement
that we take very seriously at Pilkington,” said Stephen Weidner, vice
president of sales and marketing.  “This is an achievement that I
believe is reflective of the hard work and efforts of our operations
teams.”                                          

JEB suppliers are evaluated on a quarterly and annual basis in
accordance with ISO 9001 quality procedures.  Each supplier is
evaluated, by JEB, based on a set of five key criteria:  product
quality, packaging quality, order accuracy, on-time delivery, and
general responsiveness.
