Smaller MWBEs may sometimes feel there are just too many obstacles to "breaking in to the big time" by making a measurable difference to the bottom line profits of a large, well-known customer. But one MWBE supplier, Quality By Design Cooling Systems (QBD), has shown that a minority supplier can bring solutions and make a difference.
QBD, an Ontario, Canada-based manufacturer and supplier of display coolers, cold rooms, beverage coolers and commercial reach-in coolers, has partnered with PepsiCo for beverage coolers. Through its creative approach, QBD has been able to provide PepsiCo with innovative, timely and effective cooler solutions for their bottlers and national account customers.
