Achievements
Today, Hoover is the market leader in floor care in North America and remains the only major floor-care company with manufacturing operations in the United States.
Hoover takes great pride in its commitment to innovation, quality, and customer service, striving to give customers not just what they want, but far more than they expect.
These efforts have not gone unnoticed. The company has received the prestigious SPARC Award (Supplier Performance Awards by Retail Category) in the floor-care category for 10 years straight, and in 2001, Hoover was recognized as the SPARC Hard Line Vendor of the Year. These awards, determined by a poll of retail executives, are based on product innovation, quality control, advertising support, and on-time delivery.
In recent years, Hoover has received vendor-of-the-year honors from Sears, Target, Wal-Mart, and other retailers. The Hoover® WindTunnel™ upright was the first
vacuum cleaner to win Good Housekeeping magazine’s Good Buy Award. The annual award is given to fewer than a dozen manufacturers for products that provide “exceptional performance and ingenious problem-solving features.”
Hoover is also among a small number of businesses that have been awarded the Ohio Governor’s Award for Outstanding Achievement in recognition of efforts made to develop and maintain environmentally safe manufacturing practices.
In the community, Hoover is well known for its civic leadership and social responsibility.
