Over the years, Mapei has distinguished itself in terms of superior training and marketplace support for its new products and we wanted to recognize the company as a role model for others in our industry to follow.”

The award was presented at Fishman’s recently-concluded annual sales meeting to Allen Janofsky and Gary Waldron of Mapei, who were specifically cited for spearheading their company’s new product training and market support initiatives. Their daily interactions with business managers across Fishman “significantly enhance the firm’s ability to delight our customers,” Mabeus said.
