Alston Equipment, Polimin share top Eriez sales award

Eriez named Alston Equipment Co. and Polimin co-recipients of the 2025 Merwin Award, its highest sales recognition in the Americas.

The Eriez honor recognizes representatives who demonstrate exceptional sales performance, outstanding customer service and strong alignment with the company’s mission and values.

Nine Eriez-USA field sales offices qualified as finalists this year. Alston Equipment and Polimin emerged as top performers, marking the first time in more than a decade that the Merwin Award has been presented to co-winners.

Alston Equipment, which is headquartered in Louisiana, has represented Eriez since 1999 across northern Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana. Polimin, which is based in Chile, has partnered with Eriez since 1980 and serves customers throughout the country.

Eriez says both organizations achieved record growth in 2025, surpassing sales targets across all of its product and market lines while demonstrating exceptional technical expertise and service excellence.

The Merwin Award is a first for both Alston Equipment and Polimin.

“The Merwin Award recognizes more than strong sales results,” says Darrell Milton, senior director of sales at Eriez-USA. “It reflects the strength of our partnerships, technical capability in the field and a consistent commitment to customer success. Alston and Polimin exemplify these qualities. Their 2025 performance was outstanding, and they continue to represent Eriez with professionalism and integrity.”
