Malco Products, one of the nation’s leading solution developers and manufacturers of a variety of high-quality tools for the building trades, recently announced the launch of its brand-new Counterperson of the Year Contest.  

Malco is looking to recognize and celebrate outstanding counter staff at its U.S. wholesale distribution locations who demonstrate the same values that make Malco great: dedication to superior customer service and going above & beyond to ensure contractors have the Malco tools they need to get the job done. 

There are great prizes lined up not just for the winner, but for the contractors and distributors who nominate as well: 

  • The winner will receive $500 cash. 
  • If the winner is nominated by a contractor, the contractor receives $100 in Malco tools of their choosing, plus the distributor/contractor team will receive lunch! 
  • All qualifying nominees and nominators will receive a Malco golf shirt, hat and product catalog. 

Malco is also making it easy for contractors to nominate counter staff, with 3 options to enter: 

All entries must be received by Thursday, August 31, and the winner will be announced in October. Please note, this contest is only open to nominees in the United States.
