ADRIAN, Mich., Aug. 28, 2009 /PRNewswire/ – The Masco Builder Cabinet Group (MBCG) cabinetry brands, Merillat and Quality Cabinets, have been rated “A,A,” the highest ranking possible, in the prestigious “Partners of Choice Award” from David Weekley Homes. The award, now in its sixth year, is given to suppliers based on their quality and service performance. MBCG is the first cabinetry company to receive this honor in the history of the program.
“We’re honored and humbled to earn the highest rating possible from such a well respected builder as David Weekley Homes,” said John Czerwonka, vice president of sales for the Masco Builder Cabinet Group. “We strive to be the best partner possible and appreciate being recognized for those efforts. We look forward to working with David Weekley Homes for many years to come.”
“The National Trading Partner Survey recognizes those suppliers who are truly world class,” says Bill Justus, vice president of Supply Chain Services for David Weekley Homes. “The survey compares companies from every industry – from appliances to paint – all of which support the homebuilding industry.
When you consider that breadth of the survey and the challenging market conditions, Merillat and Quality Cabinets’ accomplishments are very impressive.”

The survey ranks David Weekley Homes’ 150 suppliers. This year, 600 Team Members from every market and every level within the David Weekley Homes’ organization participated.
