Their team continues to show enthusiasm and knowledge of the product we offer, driving business in competitive categories,” stated Kenda Campbell, Western Sales Manager. “2020 threw a lot of curves at us, and their team jumped on board to not only sell PPE during the first months of the pandemic, but they also never let up on procuring our core orders.”

“Once again we’ve chosen Keystone Manufacturer’s Representatives as our LE agency of the year,” stated Martin.  She continued, “They do exceptional work with our partners and agencies in their territory. Their communication and collaboration with Otis has contributed to over 200% growth in the last year and when we bring on new products, they hit the ground running with them.”
