Each year, The Hoser Network recognizes a supplier who goes above and beyond—demonstrating strong performance, meaningful engagement, and a genuine commitment to The Hoser Network’s success. This year, that recognition goes to Dixon Valve and Coupling, the recipient of the 2026 Bob Lyons Supplier of the Year Award.
Dixon has consistently proven what it means to be a true partner within The Hoser Network. Their team is engaged across IDCO initiatives, bringing not only high-quality products to the table but also a collaborative mindset that strengthens relationships throughout the membership. Their continued growth alongside members reflects both their impact and their alignment with the co-op’s mission.
Selecting the Bob Lyons Supplier of the Year is never an easy decision. The Hoser Network is fortunate to work with a strong network of suppliers who are committed, innovative, and invested in the co-op’s success. While several partners will be recognized as Outstanding Suppliers of the Year, Dixon rose to the top as a clear example of what this award represents.
Dixon shows up as a dedicated partner across every part of the co-op, with a clear focus on serving and supporting IDCO members. Consistently ranked as a top supplier by our members year after year, their team has built strong, trusted relationships across the network. From contributing to IDCO U and developing meaningful member trainings to jumping into strategic conversations, they are engaged, responsive, and ready to add value. That same commitment carries through to the IDCO Expo, where they’ve been one of our top sponsors over the years and bring an energy to the stage that elevates the entire experience (we’re looking at you, Dion)!
It’s this level of engagement, responsiveness, and genuine investment in the co-op’s success that sets Dixon apart and makes them such a valued part of The Hoser Network.
We are proud to recognize Dixon Valve and Coupling as this year’s Supplier of the Year, and we are grateful for their continued partnership, trust, and commitment to IDCO and its members. They are an important part of what drives The Hoser Network forward.
