International. DiversiTech Corp. has been named Ferguson's 2017 HVAC Provider of the Year, a novelty that was announced during Ferguson's 2017 Vendor Summit Awards. DiversiTech was selected for helping Ferguson achieve higher sales and margin growth, as well as providing exceptional marketing, logistics and customer support at Ferguson branches.

"We are honored to have received this important award," said Bud Sjogren, Director of Sales and Marketing at DiversiTech. "As a Ferguson partner for more than two decades, the award demonstrates our continued commitment to providing them with the products and services they need to support their customers and their business goals.

Ferguson evaluates its suppliers in four main categories: financial impact, efficiency, engagement/integration, and the extra mile factor. DiversiTech received high marks in all categories. The company was specifically cited in the engagement/integration category for its leading role in "pricing, execution" to support Hot Deals and new product launches. Under the extra mile category, DiversiTech was noted for its ability to deepen its partnership with Ferguson by holding quarterly meetings, which helps with strategic planning and execution, and fosters greater communication between the two organizations.
