Spartan Chemical Company, a recognized leader in the formulation and manufacture of sustainable cleaning and sanitation solutions for the industrial and institutional market, today, announced Frank Walters, Spartan Chemical regional manager, was recognized with the 2025 Sanico Representative Choice Award.

Annually, Sanico employees vote to rate thier main supplier representatives. Much of the voting is based on support, protection and success of our team working with the supplier representative.

“Frank Walters responsiveness, professionalism and knowledge helped place him in the top tier of the group,” says Josh Peters, President of Sanico. “Spartan Chemical’s ongoing commitment to the distributor, particularly the independent distributor, puts their representatives like Frank Walters at an unfair advantage when it comes to awards like this. It’s a rare thing that our suppliers in 2026 have a culture and mission that revolves around supporting the Sanico’s of the world. We are very aware of who lives up to our standard and who does not. Spartan has continued to live up to the standard overwhelmingly more often than not.”

The vendor representative of the year award was presented to Frank by Josh Peters, President of Sanico during their 25th annual Sanico Cleaning Solutions Tradeshow held at Binghamton University in Vestal, New York.
