Stewart Ranked #1 in Overall Supplier Loyalty for the 12th Consecutive Year

The results of this year's Supplier Loyalty Survey from inside track are in, and once again Stewart Filmscreen is ranked #1 in Overall Supplier Loyalty among Home Video/Screen companies.

Stewart Filmscreen's products and organization has now captured 1st place Overall in the H.V./Screen group of the inside track survey for 12 consecutive years. Stewart took ten parameter first places this year (including the Product Triple Crown) plus five-second places. Stewart improved year over year on 13/16 parameters and dropped only minimally on the remaining three parameters.

Said inside track Editor, Gisela Schoell, "Once again, and this time during a most challenging year, vendors in the inside track survey competed in what amounts to 16 'races.' You do not reach the Overall winner's podium in this survey by concentrating on just a few parameters like, for example, product performance, reliability, and innovation. This survey requires even more from vendors, because what is measured is the totality of the vendor/dealer partnership -- and it is the dealers who are the judges. Coming out on top Overall once is a tremendous achievement. Coming out on top for 12 years running, as Stewart Filmscreen has done, means that this company is an exemplary vendor partner to its dealers."

Year after year, dealers respond to Stewart's outstanding products and once again they have given them the top spot for Product Reliability, Product Performance and Product Innovation along with another first place for Appropriate Assortment. Moreover, based on inside track's strict and precise grading structure, Stewart leaves the competition in the dust when it comes to Customer Service with top rankings in Technical Support, Brand Name Recognition, Distribution Policies, Price Protection, Dealer Training and Quality of Sales Reps.
