FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Palmer-Donavin has announced its 2025 Manufacturer Award winners, recognizing outstanding partners who have made a significant impact on the business, its dealers, and the industry. Honored during the recent Winter Show in Louisville, Kentucky, these recipients have demonstrated exceptional commitment to partnership, innovation, and customer support.
TimberTech | Manufacturer Partner of the Year
TimberTech has been a trusted partner of Palmer-Donavin since 1996, and our partnership continues to grow stronger each year. In 2025, that momentum reached a new level, with exceptional performance across the Midwest and continued alignment in how we support our dealers and the broader channel.
“We really had a phenomenal year with TimberTech in the Midwest,” said Josh Thompson, Vice President of Product Management at Palmer-Donavin. “We’ve been in business together for nearly three decades, and we continue to see growth year after year. 2025 was especially strong in terms of overall performance. TimberTech consistently supports the entire channel and delivers a best-in-class product offering. We work extremely well together, and we truly appreciate their partnership in all aspects of the business.”
TimberTech’s commitment to innovation, reliability, and partnership continues to make a meaningful impact for our teams and the customers we serve.
Alex Walker | Manufacturer Representative of the Year
Alex Walker is the sales representative for Affinity Stone, a best-in-class panelized stone siding system Palmer-Donavin began distributing in 2021. Now in just his second full year as a sales representative, Alex has quickly emerged as a top performer with our sales teams across both the Midwest and Southeast.
Sales consistently point to Alex’s reliability and hands-on support. He “always answers his phone,” is “very knowledgeable on the product,” and “travels well without needing help.” Alex regularly makes calls on our behalf, supports contractors directly, updates displays, and goes above and beyond to ensure customers are taken care of — including traveling to jobsites to help resolve installation issues when needed.
He’s known for being highly communicative and willing to meet customers wherever they are, whether that’s in-market, at dealer locations, or at shows where he’s committed to putting up full, high-quality displays — not just tabletop setups. From facilitating material needs to supporting joint and independent contractor and dealer meetings, Alex consistently shows up for our teams and our customers.
These awards celebrate the dedication of manufacturer partners and representatives who drive the industry forward through exceptional service, innovation, and collaboration. Their contributions help enhance customer experience and strengthen relationships across the market. Looking ahead to 2025, continued success will be built on these valued partnerships.
