Vitamix Named Best In Class In Two Categories By Foodservice Equipment & Supplies Magazine

Vitamix recently has been named the Best in Class beverage and blender consultant overall and by dealers by Foodservice Equipment and Supplies (FE&S) magazine. These awards are given to industry manufacturers with products or services that are considered to be superior in providing value in multiple ways. This is the fourth consecutive year that Vitamix has been honored with the Best in Class designation.


Winners are determined based on survey data provided by FE&S magazine's subscribing readers, which include foodservice operators, dealers and consultants. These professionals evaluate each manufacturer based on seven critical characteristics: product quality, product value, product design and aesthetics, service and support, sales representation, product inventory and availability and product information availability that affects the way foodservice professionals approach purchasing equipment and supplies.


"The fact that our dealers see the total value of Vitamix blenders is a true honor," said Anthony Ciepiel, vice president of marketing and sales for Vita-Mix Corporation. "Winning the overall award for beverage blenders recognizes the company's main objective to provide customers with the best service, superior products and the latest blending technology. We're proud to have earned Best in Class once again this year."

Those participating in the survey prioritized the seven key attributes in order of importance and then rated the individual companies within the given product categories. The results identified manufacturers that FE&S readers believe are the best in their class for each of the 48 product categories, recognizing companies that set the bar for understanding and meeting the needs of the entire foodservice community.

Ciepiel said Vitamix continues to meet the needs of the foodservice industry through performance and value. Vitamix brings the lowest total cost of ownership to the industry with high-performance machines that allow for process elimination and help improve workflow, resulting in significant savings in both labor and time. This, in turn, results in considerable cost savings.

As a leader in the global commercial blending industry, Vitamix and its products have continued to be honored with industry awards throughout the years.
