Telco Holdings, Inc. works with Day & Zimmermann at the corporate level to provide analysis and design implementation of voice and data network services. Telco’s attention to detail resulted in a cost reduction of 40 percent.
“A Day & Zimmermann core value is ‘Diversity’. This is a focus of ours across the entire Company—from personnel to suppliers to customers. We also believe in ‘Betterment’ - the concept that continuous improvement is critical to sustainable success. The companies we recognize for the Diversity Suppliers of the Year embody both of these essential characteristics,” said Emerick.
Aspen Technical Staffing has been working with our YOH team since 2009. Aspen achieved their award in recognition of their ability to provide support from invoicing to recruiting. The company is women-owned and has recently been awarded additional work with us.
Tri Tool, a veteran-owned company, has consistently delivered results above expectations during its tenure working with our ECM team. We are proud to say that Tri Tool has proven to be an integral part of the ECM business unit’s growth over the years.
Established in 1989, the Supplier of the Year Annual Award program is limited to those suppliers where the dollar volume of business for the year has been at least $100,000 ($50,000 for Diversity Supplier of the Year) or where the supplier provides a unique service critical to our business.
