STRAN (PPAI 161542, Platinum), PPAI 100’s No. 12 distributor, has reported a 29% year-over-year increase in sales, reaching approximately $26 million for the third quarter of 2025.

• Revenue grew to $60.3 million for the nine-month period, up from $52.2 million last year, reflecting higher spending from existing enterprise customers and new account wins.
• Stran Loyalty Solutions revenue increased to $26.9 million from $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, highlighting the continued strength of the Gander Group acquisition completed in August 2024.

“As we move into our historically strongest quarter of the year, our focus remains consistent – deepening client relationships, improving operational efficiency through automation and data and maintaining financial discipline as we strengthen our foundation for long-term growth,” says STRAN CEO Andy Shape. “As we approach 2026, we intend to continue our momentum via continued organic growth as well as acquisitions. We’re executing with focus, managing the business responsibly and positioning Stran to deliver sustainable value for years to come.”

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Penn Emblem (PPAI 537470, Standard-Base) hosted a company-wide raffle across all four of its locations – headquarters in Pennsylvania and manufacturing facilities in California and Mexico – to raise funds for breast cancer research and awareness.

• Employees participated by purchasing raffle tickets for $1 each, with one winner per location receiving a $100 gift card.
• Together, the teams raised $900, which Penn Emblem proudly matched, bringing the total donation to $1,800.
• The funds were donated to Susan Komen.

To further show support, Penn Emblem distributed custom PennFlex Warrior Woman emblems to every employee, encouraging them to wear their emblem in honor of someone affected by breast cancer and to spark conversations around awareness and early detection.
