Eagle Creek was the sole recipient of the Supplier of the Year Award for 2013-14 from Globetrotter Ausrüstung GmbH, the largest outdoor retailer in Germany.

The award is determined by a jury consisting of members from many in-house Globetrotter departments such as purchasing, service, inventory management and e-commerce. It is based on several criteria, including sales, profitability, service, pre-order and order processing, delivery, training and marketing network.

As Supplier of the Year Award, Eagle Creek will enjoy international trade recognition, as well as enhanced in-store positioning, increased sales potential and brand prominence in Globetrotter stores and with consumers.

We are really excited to receive this award, said Oliver Messing, Managing Director of Eagle Creek
Europe, who accepted the award at a ceremony in September from Andreas Bartmann, general manager for Globetrotter Ausrüstung.  Our international team works very hard to provide top level service to all our retailers and its nice to have that work recognized by such an important partner, especially as an up and coming brand in Europe.
