Allied Buying Corp. (ABC) recognized Norlake with two supplier awards at its 2026 Spring Conference in Miami Beach, Fla., naming the brand a Top Achiever for Total Percentage Volume Increase and Runner-Up for Total Dollar Volume Increase. 

The awards reflect Norlake’s growth with ABC’s member dealers over the past year — both the rate of that growth and the total volume it represented across the buying group’s network. 

“A supplier doesn’t earn recognition like this alone,” said Brian Kadel, vice-president of dealer sales. “Every walk-in we shipped to an ABC member this past year started with a dealer who specified it, sold it, and stood behind it. We’re grateful to ABC’s leadership and to every member dealer who put their trust in our product and our team — and we’re committed to being the trusted partner of choice for the dealers and operators we serve.” 

ABC Executive Director Tom Venetis and Board President Karen McCain of TriMark presented the awards during the conference. Foodservice Equipment Reports covered the full slate of member and supplier honors. Read FER’s coverage.
