The annual award is based on Honeywell’s Authorized System Distributor (ASD) buying volume, sales growth, value added services, among other criteria. The top 10 ASDs whose performance achieved the highest scores were also awarded the Diamond Distributor distinction for 2020.

“It’s a proud moment to be named 2019 Distributor of the Year as well as a Diamond Distributor again for 2020. Our team has been committed to Honeywell for decades. The strategic relationship between Honeywell and CCOM Group allows us to provide the highest level of service to our contractors,” said Pete Gasiewicz, CEO, CCOM Group.

Universal Supply Group has distributed Honeywell products since its inception in 1940 and started working with the commercial controls division in 1978 when Universal Energy Products (UEP) was founded, supporting commercial jobs and fabricating control panels in house in Hawthorne, NJ. USG has received the Diamond Distributor award every year for the last six years and more than a dozen times in total.

“We highly value our long-standing relationship with USG,” said Mike Garceau, general manager of distribution and integrator businesses, Honeywell Building Management Systems. “USG consistently works to provide added value to contractors and help them serve their end customers. We congratulate them for this effort and look forward to our continued partnership.”

This award follows that of CCOM Group, USG’s parent company, receiving the prestigious Harold V Goodman award in 2019 for its performance in 2018.

CCOM Group, including Universal Supply Group, RAL Supply Group and S&A Supply is an industry leader in residential and commercial HVAC/R, controls systems, and plumbing in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States.
