Florham Park, NJ – Datacor, Inc., a leading provider of process manufacturing and distribution software, is thrilled to announce that Sean O’Donnell, Chairman at Datacor, received the prestigious Affiliate Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Association of Chemical Distributors (NACD). He received the award today, November 11, 2021, during the Business Meeting at NACD’s 50th Annual Meeting, held in Aventura, Florida. This is only the first time in the 50-year history of the NACD that this esteemed award has been presented to an Affiliate member.

Sean was lauded for his nearly forty years of service to the chemical distribution industry through Datacor’s industry-specific ERP and CRM software. Sean joined Datacor as a sales representative in 1984 before transitioning to the role of president in the early nineties. Sean assumed the role of Chairman in 2016.

In presenting the award, John Logue, CEO, Royale Pigments, stated, “Since joining the association in 2002, Sean has been a super advocate for NACD and its members. From day one, he has been an active participant and contributor to the success of NACD members. He believes vigorously in this community, in the Responsible Distribution principles chemical distributors operate by, and in creating resources for family businesses who have limited resources. His unwavering support and dedication to chemical distribution for twenty years has been incredible.”

Datacor President, Tom Jackson, comments:

We may be biased, but we don’t think there is anyone more deserving of the first ever Affiliate Lifetime Achievement Award than Sean. He has dedicated his career at Datacor to understanding the businesses of our customers and equipping them with the tools and data to improve their operations. It is an honor to have Sean recognized for his leadership and loyalty to the association and industry as a whole.
