"As the global marketplace changes and the legislative, social and political landscapes continue to evolve, it makes sense for us to embrace a higher level of accountability to our customers," Sandford continued. "The two-year journey wasn't easy, but we feel it will provide us the added opportunities to grow our business by being a frontrunner in the key issues facing the future of our industry. We take great pride in this accomplishment and what it means for our business long term. QCA Accreditation enhances our value proposition to distributors that are also looking for that extra level of differentiation. Today, our customers-and their customers-can now feel secure that our products and processes are the best the industry has to offer."
