Cooper Wiring Devices Receives Equity Product Excellence Award

LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y., July 19, 2002 - The Equity Product Excellence Award for 2001 was presented to Cooper Wiring Devices recently. A measure of product quality, packaging and consistent competitive pricing, the award was presented at the annual meeting of Equity Electrical Associates, whose 242 independent electrical distributor members across the country voted for the top electrical manufacturers. Cooper's score topped all others. Equity Electrical Associates' members are leading distributors in their own geographic markets, representing combined sales of more than $4 billion.

According to Dan Potter, Marketing Director of Equity Electrical Associates, "the Equity Award, based on the votes of the distributors at-large, underlines the accomplishments of all Cooper Wiring Devices' employees before the entire distributor-manufacturer community in the country."

Marketing Vice President James Knapik says, "We appreciate this high honor of the Equity organization's award, especially now that we have launched our integrated branding and marketing program to support electrical distributors, contractors and specifiers around the country for our line of over 10,000 electrical products."

"It reinforces our plan to become the industry's prime source of electrical plugs, receptacles, connectors, switches and locking devices, among many other products that find their way into industrial, residential, commercial and institutional markets."
