NIS is proud to announce that it has been named the winner of the 2026 Conversion of the Year Award by Affiliated Distributors (AD), alongside its distributor, ATA SGSPRO. The award recognizes the successful partnership between the two companies and their efforts to secure new business within the power generation repair market.
The opportunity began in late 2025 when Navasota identified several major customers experiencing extended lead times, inconsistent product availability, and significant price increases from their existing carbide bur suppliers. These challenges created an opportunity for ATA to demonstrate the value of its extensive product offering, dependable stock availability, and commitment to customer service.
With its full range of carbide burs stocked and available for same-day shipping, ATA provided customers with a reliable alternative to help minimize downtime and keep their operations moving. Combined with technical expertise, responsive service, and strong distributor support, these advantages played a significant role in successfully converting new business.
“I couldn’t be prouder of our team for this tremendous achievement,” said Matt Phillips, Director of Industrial Sales at Harvey Performance Company. “This award highlights ATA’s commitment to delivering more than just high quality tooling. Dependable stock availability, timely deliveries, and expert technical support are just as important to our customers, and our team works hard every day to deliver on those expectations.”
“We’re proud to partner with ATA SGSPRO to deliver the reliable availability, responsive service, and technical support our customers need to keep their operations moving,” said Scott Stapp of Navasota Industrial Supply.
The award reinforces the value of ATA’s partnership with Navasota Industrial Supply and the collective efforts that made this achievement possible. It also marks another important step in ATA’s continued growth within the power generation market, where reliable tooling and responsive service are essential to keeping customers’ operations running.
