The inaugural Distributor Choice Award program was so successful, we couldn’t wait to bring it back this year.

A few months ago, we reached out to Sanitary Maintenance readers, asking them to vote for the industry’s best products. From the field of nearly 300 entries, distributors picked the top 40 innovations. Ballots included products that were featured either in the pages of SM or on our website, CleanLink.com, during 2014.

The response we received was even better than last year. Thank you to all those who cast their votes and helped select these deserving winners.
