The JASPER Service Award is presented to manufacturers who provide exceptional service in each of several critical business areas, including product quality, fill rate, accuracy in billing and credit processes, and overall responsiveness.

“We are approaching our 95th year of operation and quality and customer service are every bit as important today as they were when we first opened our doors,” said Elgin Industries President Bill Skok. “With 60 years of mutual growth and success, Elgin and JASPER have defined the qualities of strong business partnership. We are very proud to serve this great company and its thousands of customers across North America.”
