Kutol Products Company has announced the recipients of its 2023 awards recognizing outstanding manufacturer representative partners.

Kutol’s Top Performing Agency Award went to The Osborne Group, Inc., based in Cincinnati, OH.

“The Osborne Group’s years of experience in the industry and deep knowledge of our product line positions them as experts in the commercial skin care space,” Brandon Jones, Kutol’s vice president of sales and marketing, said.

Upon receiving the award, John R. Osborne, owner of The Osborne Group, added, “We are immensely proud of this achievement and grateful for the 30-plus year partnership we share with Kutol Products.”

The Outstanding Growth Award was presented to JanRep Associates, located in Manchester, MO.
