National Trade Supply Named 2025 Top Workplace Amid Bold Growth and Industry Leadership

Published

GREENWOOD, Ind., May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — National Trade Supply (NT Supply), a trailblazer in e-commerce, has been named a 2025 Top Workplace by The Indianapolis Star and Energage, underscoring the company’s continued ascent as both a premier employer and a category-defining force in aftermarket home consumable products.

This recognition joins an elite list of accolades—including Best Places to Work in Indiana, Bizrate Circle of Excellence, and Internet Retailer Top 500—but for NT Supply, it marks something more: a milestone in a transformational journey that is reshaping how talent, technology, and manufacturing come together to redefine the future of work in the United States.

Founded with a pioneering vision in the early 2000s, NT Supply disrupted traditional retail by adopting a direct-to-consumer model long before it became mainstream. Today, through its flagship platform DiscountFilters.com, the company serves millions of U.S. households with high-performance, aftermarket air and water filters.

But NT Supply isn’t just holding ground—it’s building momentum.

From its Greenwood, Indiana headquarters, the company is investing aggressively in talent development, operational excellence, and U.S.-based production capabilities. With a workforce spanning both skilled manufacturing and technical innovation roles, NT Supply continues to invest in its people—not only through professional development, but also by prioritizing employee well-being. This includes a partnership with an onsite Employee Success Coach through the Employer Resource Program, the implementation of hybrid and flexible work arrangements, and quarterly all-company meetings designed to align teams around shared goals, strategies, and performance. These efforts reflect NT Supply’s commitment to fostering a supportive, high-performance culture as it scales for the future.

“Transformation isn’t just about technology or systems—it’s about people,” said Abby Robertson, VP of People, Culture & Customer Experience of NT Supply. “We’re proud of how far we’ve come, and we’re even more excited about where we’re going, with a culture that embraces change, empowers our employees, and positions us for lasting impact.”

“This award validates the culture we’ve built—but more importantly, it affirms where we’re headed,” said Jeremy Buchanan, President & CFO of NT Supply. “We are not here to follow. We are here to lead—and we’re attracting the kind of talent that’s ready to build what comes next.”

As NT Supply executes its forward-looking strategic plan, the company is positioning itself not just as a great place to work, but as a destination for builders, doers, and disruptors.

This recognition by Energage, based entirely on confidential employee feedback across 15 core cultural drivers, sends a clear signal to the market: NT Supply is a workplace of choice and a force to watch.

$1.325 billion divestiture optimizes and simplifies Honeywell’s portfolio Positions Honeywell to continue to deliver profitable growth and strong cash generation, creating compelling long-term value for shareowners

CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) today announced it has completed the sale of its Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) business to Protective Industrial Products, Inc. (“PIP”) for $1.325 billion in an all-cash transaction. PIP is a global supplier and manufacturer of PPE products and a portfolio company of Odyssey Investment Partners.

The sale further advances Honeywell’s efforts to optimize its portfolio, while allowing the PPE business to build a strong future with PIP as it continues to deliver value for its customers across the globe. It also marks the completion of Honeywell’s exit from the PPE space, following the 2021 divestiture of Honeywell’s Lifestyle and Performance Footwear Business to Rocky Brands.

“Completing the divestiture of our PPE business is another critical step in simplifying and optimizing our portfolio for growth in our core businesses,” said Vimal Kapur, Chairman and CEO of Honeywell. “Beyond the benefits for Honeywell, the sale also strengthens PPE’s future opportunities given the strong alignment to PIP’s core business.”

The completion of this sale follows Honeywell’s recent announcement of the planned separation of its Aerospace Technologies business along with the previously announced spin of Advanced Materials, which will result in three publicly listed industry leaders with distinct strategies and growth drivers. Since December 2023, Honeywell has announced a number of strategic actions to drive organic growth and simplify its portfolio. This includes $13.5 billion of accretive acquisitions: the Access Solutions business from Carrier Global, Civitanavi SystemsCAES Systems, the LNG business from Air Products and the announced acquisitions of Sundyne and Johnson Matthey’s Catalyst Technologies Business.
