American Eagle Awards

The American Eagle award program has a rich history of showcasing the efforts of manufacturers and distributors in the MROP channel. The new American Eagle award program offers five categories for ISA members to demonstrate how they bring value to the channel.

Since its inception, the competition has allowed hundreds of companies to tell their stories, and dozens have taken center stage with award-winning entries.

However, you can't win unless you enter!

Here are the awards:

American Eagle Value-Added Partner Award*
The American Eagle Value-Added Partner Award is a prestige few achieve. ISA recognizes the combined efforts of one manufacturer and one distributor. The winning companies demonstrate how they work together in a combined effort to show exceptional documented cost savings or productivity improvements for the end user. This award recognizes true partnership between distributors and manufacturers. The documented cost savings or productivity improvement entry may be for a single event or an annual program.

The distributor and manufacturer winners of the American Eagle Value-Added Partner Award receive stunning crystal American Eagles in front of their peers at the ISA Industrial Supply Conference and Trade Fair and are recognized as outstanding Value-Added partners throughout the year.

American Eagle Value-Added Distributor/Manufacturer/ Independent Manufacturer Representative Awards*
The American Eagle Value-Added Distributor/Manufacturer/Independent Manufacturer Representative Awards also carry great prestige. One distributor, one manufacturer and one independent manufacturer rep will be selected from among the many entrants. The winners must demonstrate exceptional documented cost savings or productivity improvements for the end-user. Different from the American Eagle Value-Added Partner Award, these three awards recognize the independent efforts of a distributor, manufacturer and independent manufacturer rep. The documented cost savings and/or productivity improvement entry may be for a single event or an annual program.

American Eagle Value-Added award winners receive a stunning Steuben Crystal Glass Eaglet in front of their peers at the ISA Industrial Supply Conference and Trade Fair and are publicized as outstanding Value-Added Partners throughout the year.

Corporate Citizenship Award
American Eagle Awards are presented to the distributor and manufacturer whose entry best demonstrates corporate citizenship and/or involvement. The corporate citizenship and/or involvement entry may be for a single event or an annual program.
