Gurtler Holds Global Sales Conference

Gurtler Industries Inc., South Holland, IL, recently held its three-day Global Sales Conference at the Briar Ridge Country Club in Schererville, IN, just outside Chicago. The conference was attended by more than 75 members of the Gurtler sales and service team, headquarters support team and management, according to a news release.

Company representatives were present from the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Australia. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this was the first time since 2018 that Gurtler brought together the sales and service team for the conference, which focused on technical and safety training, recognition of top sales performers, and a celebration of Gurtler’s 40th anniversary.

As part of Gurtler’s continuing effort to improve customer service, Gurtler invited four customers from the industrial/F&B and healthcare laundry markets to participate in a panel to review how they perceive their expectations and standards for service from their chemical representatives. In addition, representatives from six major manufacturers of standard and tunnel washing systems shared their latest innovations and technology with the company’s sales and service team and the manufacturers heard feedback from the team on how the systems perform in the markets that Gurtler serves.

Gurtler also recognized the top sales and service performers from the last few years. The salespersons of the year for the last two years were honored in front of their peers. Nicolas Legault from Ontario, Canada, earned the honor for 2021 and Joe Valdez of the Pacific Northwest was named salesperson of the year for 2022.

Lastly Greg Gurtler, president; and Bill Gurtler, chairman, shared their thoughts on the 40th anniversary of Gurtler’s founding in March 1982 and presented an employee appreciation video. The video is posted on the Gurtler YouTube page. Click here to view the video.
