SurgeX Awards Cardone, Solomon & Associates Rep of the Year

PIPERSVILLE, PA - May 2006 -- SurgeX, a leading manufacturer of professional AC power products and control systems, announces that the company’s ‘2005 Rep of the Year’ award was recently presented to the New York-based firm of Cardone, Solomon & Associates (CS&A).

Covering the manufacturer’s Northeast region, from Virginia to Maine, CS&A is under the direction of Co-founders John Cardone and Mike Solomon, who were presented with the same award by SurgeX only three years ago.

Cardone states, “It is a pleasure representing a product like SurgeX, which provides such reliable performance and clear benefits to the designer, integrator and end user of any AV system.”

“Working with such a professional and attentive rep firm like CS&A is certainly a mutually rewarding experience,” notes SurgeX Co-founder and Senior Principal Michael McCook. “Their broad-based knowledge of system integration fundamentals provides us with an ongoing competitive edge, and we couldn’t be happier to honor them again with this award.”

SurgeX also recognized two other rep firms for their achievements. Dave Ellison of Ellison Northwest in University Place, WA, received the ‘Rapid Growth’ award for more than doubling sales in his territory throughout 2005, while Casey McWilliams of CM Sales in Redford, MI, was presented with the ‘Bulldog of the Year’ award for his “passion for the cause,” according to McCook.

SurgeX is a leading manufacturer of professional AC power products and control systems for pro audio, video, broadcast, lighting, MI, security and other industries. Located in Pipersville, PA, the company celebrates its tenth anniversary this year.
