Good Partner MSI Gets Award

ANAHEIM, Calif. – M S International Inc. (MSI) scored a first for the stone trade in getting recognition from a national design center late last year.
MSI received a 2002 Partner of the Year honor from Expo Design Centers, the home-center arm of The Home Depot Inc. Expo President Bob Wittman presented Manu Shah, MSI’s CEO, with the award during a ceremony in December at Expo’s headquarters in Atlanta.
MSI received the award for its service in providing flooring products to Expo Design Centers nationwide. MSI is the sole 2002 recipient of the award in the Stone, Wood and Tile Flooring category, and is the first natural-stone supplier to receive the honor.
“MSI is proud to be recognized by Expo Design Centers as Partner of the Year,” says Shah. “This award exemplifies not only the breadth of our product line and distribution capabilities, but also our timely delivery and highest order-fill rate with the organization’s dedication to providing superior customer service.”
MSI, headquartered in Anaheim, also operates branches in Atlanta, Chicago and New Brunswick, N.J., as well as Mexico City and Chennai, India. The company, with 130 employees, imports and distributes natural-stone products from more than 20 countries.
