Uponor Named A National Preferred Partner By National Homebuilder

APPLE VALLEY, MN — Apple Valley-based company Uphonor North America was recently named one of national homebuilder David Weekley Homes' national preferred partners.

Uponor was one of 24 companies out of 150 to receive the honor, Uponor said.

This is Uponor's eighth consecutive year as a David Weekley Homes National Preferred Partner, the company said.

The recognition comes from the David Weekley Homes Annual National Preferred Partners Survey Program, which began in 2004 and evaluates the homebuilder's partners on their customers service and product quality, Uponor said.

Uponor provides plumbing and fire safety systems to David Weekley Homes and has been participating in the survey program since 2014, the company said. It has received the recognition every year since, Uponor said.

“Congratulations to Uponor for being named a David Weekley Homes National Preferred Partner. We are so grateful to them for being a strong partner and helping us navigate the uncharted waters of this past year,” John Schiegg, vice president of Supply Chain for David Weekley Homes, said. “Our reputation has been built on providing our homebuyers with a quality product and a positive customer service experience. As a National Preferred Partner, Uponor has played a critical role in helping us acquire and maintain that reputation.”

Schiegg also said that David Weekley Homes was fortunate to work with its preferred partners through the challenges faced in the past year.

“We are honored to be receiving this recognition for the eighth year in a row,” Carl Hines, national builder sales manager for Uponor, said. “David Weekley Homes has a strong commitment to providing their homebuyers with world-class products and service. Their pursuit of excellence closely aligns with Uponor’s dedication to enhancing our own customers’ experiences and moving the building industry forward.”
