Survey of TFM Readers Show Preference for Tate Products and Service


Tate Access Floors is once again named Today’s Facility Manager (TFM) Readers’ Choice Award winner in the category of access floors. For the second year in a row, a survey of subscribers to TFM named Tate the access floors manufacturer of choice. Each year TFM readers cast their votes for the product and service providers they preferred most during that year. Those results are then published in what has become and invaluable tool for facility executives – the TFM annual Buyer’s Guide.

“We are extremely proud of this award and we appreciate the strong vote of confidence it represents from the very people who work closest with our products on a daily basis,” said Ralph Mannion, general manager of Tate Access Floors. “Interest in product solutions like Tate’s Building Technology Platform® has been especially strong given the drive to build and operate facilities in a more energy-efficient and sustainable manner. The Building Technology Platform consists of a Tate raised floor, underfloor modular cabling, wiring, and air delivery systems. It offers a versatile and convenient office solution that meets a great number of needs. The benefits recognized by facility managers are numerous. This kind of service distribution is costeffective, improves indoor air quality, and is flexible enough to accommodate space and technology requirements, both now and in the future.

“One of the most important aspects of the annual Buyer’s Guide is the Readers’ Choice Awards,” said Jillian Ruffino, associate editor at Today’s Facility Manager. “Subscribers select these products, services, and companies based on excellence in aesthetics, reliability, value, and customer service. Obviously our readers feel that Tate has done a great job for the last two years.” TFM readers vote for both products and service providers in the annual survey. Scores from both components are combined to determine the top companies in various categories. Those categories span the wide range of products and services that facility managers rely on to succeed, including building products, furnishings, security systems as well as maintenance and cleaning products.
