Exterior building products wholesale distributor ABC Supply recognized two of its managers with the company’s top honor: The Ken Hendricks Award. Honoring late ABC Supply co-founder Ken Hendricks, the award recognizes associates who best exemplify the commitment to ABC Supply’s seven guiding core values and respectfully serving contractors.
The 2019 award recipients are Mark Briggs, manager of ABC Supply’s Rocky Mountain district, and Chris Schrage, managing partner of the company’s West Allis, Wis., branch.
“Mark and Chris have demonstrated the character that is true to the Core Values that Ken championed,” said ABC Supply president and CEO Keith Rozolis. “Their drive both professionally and personally is contagious, and they are proof that every person has within themselves the ability to do great things, both at and away from work.”
Briggs began his career in roofing 43 years ago and joined ABC Supply in 1996 as a manager of the company’s Lake Havasu City, Ariz., location. Briggs was promoted to operations manager for the Rocky Mountain district in 2001 and to district manager in 2003.
Schrage joined ABC Supply in 1984 when it acquired the company he was working for at the time. Schrage started in sales before becoming manager of the Fond du Lac, Wis., ABC branch in 1990. He served as Midwest fleet and operations manager for four years before becoming branch manager at the distributor’s West Allis, Wis., branch.
“These two deserving award recipients truly symbolize what ABC was built upon, proven by their accomplishments throughout the years,” added ABC Supply chairman Diane Hendricks. “They are dedicated to preserving ABC’s Core Values and exemplify passion for their associates, customers, and the communities in which they serve.”
Beloit, Wis.–based ABC Supply operates more than 760 locations nationwide and was the largest firm on the 2019 ProSales 100 list.
