The Executive Council of ASA’s Industrial Piping Division (IPD) is
pleased to announce Gary Cartright, president of Piping
& Equipment Inc., has been selected to receive the honor of the IPD Award
of Excellence.

Mr. Cartright has devoted years of service as a volunteer leader to
ASA. He spent many years on the IPD Executive Council and acted as the liaison
between IPD and the PVF Roundtable during that time. In addition, Mr. Cartright
has made enormous contributions to the PVF industry throughout his career and
has been active in forwarding the interests of PVF distributors and
manufacturers on a national level.

“Gary Cartright is one of the most impressive members of our
industry,” said Pat Adams, president of MKS Pipe & Valve and chairman of
IPD. “He is a true gentleman and professional in his approach to business. His
actions are a constant reminder of what it means to me to be involved and to
‘give back’ to the PVF industry. Anyone who has watched him knows he is
committed to this business. We can all
learn a great deal from Gary about professionalism and I am proud to be
associated with him.”

The award will be presented to Mr. Cartright during the IPD
Educational Forum and Breakfast on Thursday, October 15, 2009 at NetworkASA 2009 in Washington, D.C.

The IPD Award of Excellence was established in 2008 to honor a
member of the Industrial Piping Division for achievement specifically related
to the PVF sector of the industry. Criteria for this award include a record of
significant accomplishment in the PVF industry with overall influence on the
current status of the channel; a history of dedicated service to IPD; an active
participant in Division’s activities; a positive industry image and a positive
effect on the industry in general. This award is not an annual award, but is
given at the discretion of the IPD Executive Council. The inaugural award was presented in 2008 to
Timothy P. Arenberg of Columbia Pipe & Supply.
