Distributor Uses Promotion Winnings on Employees

Chicago, IL, June 20, 2012 -- USG Corporation, a building products manufacturer, delivered a free truckload of USG tile and flooring products to Glen Distributing of Grand Junction, Colorado, winner of its “Buy a Truckload, Win a Truckload” contest.

The distributor has decided to use the winnings to reward its employees.

USG launched the promotion in late January to reward distributors for placing a truckload order of USG tile and flooring installation products. For every truckload purchased, distributors earned a chance to win one truckload of assorted USG products (up to the value of $12,000).

“We didn’t think that a small company like Glen Distributing would compete with all the entries big distributors could get. We weren’t expecting it, but when we heard, we were really excited,” said Kevin Hansen, owner of Glen Distributing.

“This promotion is going to allow us to give back to our employees who worked hard without bonuses for the last couple of years. We will be spreading it out to them.”
