It's not loading the brands that's taking so much time is all the loops you have in the code for CustVendBox2_Change.
For example, why are you looping to deselect every brand?
Also, you appear to be looping through the brand list 999 times, which is 300,000+ iterations, are you sure you need to do that?
As far as I can see all you shouldn need to do is loop down the customers column and wherever you find 'REQUESTED' use the row number to select the relevant brand, you could also deselect any brands which don't have 'REQUESTED' in the customer column.
Something like this.
