Soft Stuff Distributors was named Sodexo’s Strategic Diverse Vendor Partner and also named Partner of the Year, at Sodexo’s annual Vendor Partner Meeting.

It was the first time one company took home two awards.

“We value the partnership we have with Sodexo and recognize that our success would not have been possible without their professionalism and strong commitment to truly work together with their vendors,” said Lois Gamerman, Soft Stuff Distributors’ president and CEO.  

Other Vendor of the Year nominees included Starbucks, PepsiCo and Network Services.

“Soft Stuff topped our selection for many reasons, including its great service, product offering and problem solving,” said Jim Pazzanese, vice president of supply management at Sodexo.
