Pratt Industries has been named The Home Depot Canada’s Supplier of the Year – one of just a handful of companies to be honored with the prestigious award. Pratt was given the title by the Storage and Organization Department at the annual Home Depot Supplier Partnership Meeting in Toronto recently.
We were among just 8 of approximately 2000 vendors singled out for this achievement. Lisa Tran, a department merchant for The Home Depot Canada, cited Pratt as a “fantastic” partner which fully supports The Home Depot Canada.
“Pratt is extremely honored to be recognized by our great partners at The Home Depot Canada,” said Chris Stanton, President, Pratt Retail Specialties. “Together, we continue to reshape the marketplace for moving and storage products on the foundation of best service, best assortment and best value.”
Over the past 12 months, Pratt has helped drive double digit growth for the Storage and Organization department through what The Home Depot describes as our innovative and creative ideas and customer focus. It describes a “great” supplier as one that continues to produce new packaging ideas and continues to ship on time, every time.
The Home Depot Canada has 180 stores throughout the country – all supplied by Pratt. “This started as a small moving and storage program when the partnership began in 2010 – but it has since grown into the Canadian market leader with over 20 SKUs, including boxes, bubble and stretch wrap,” said Pratt’s account rep Gregg McPheely.
