LBX receives AED Foundation Champion Award

LBX has received the AED Foundation Champion Award, presented by the Associated Equipment Distributors (AED). Presented since 2017, the award is in recognition of distinguished service of a manufacturer or service provider who has offered significant contributions to the workforce goals of The AED Foundation.

"We look forward to continuing to work with them and our AED member companies to proactively address the technician shortage."
