Founded in 2001, The Icebox (PPAI 230172, D10) has grown to offer its customer a range of creative services, design and production services, and warehousing and fulfillment, with a client list that includes Delta Airlines, AT&T and Microsoft, among others. It’s work also earned it Gold in PPAI’s 2023 Pyramid Awards.

The Atlanta-based distributor operates under a strong “give back” mindset. It is a founding member of Reciprocity Road, a promo industry buying group with a philanthropic focus. The company is also invested in its community, supporting many nonprofit organizations and causes across the city.

The high mark that PromoShop (204997, D11) earned for “Industry Faith” in the inaugural PPAI 100 technically refers to the company’s positive credit rating, but the Los Angeles-based distributor has built a strong reputation among its industry competitors and peers. Just last year, the company’s former chief compliance officer and director of vendor relations, Kim Bakalyar, received PPAI’s 2022 Woman of Achievement Award, before retiring.

PromoShop has only pushed forward since then, growing in revenue, earning a place in PPAI’s Greatest Promo Companies To Work For in 2023, and maintaining a standard of pre-qualifying the suppliers it works for safety, compliance and socially responsible products.

Founded in 1996 and based out of a 250,000-square-foot facility in Michigan, Mercury Promotions & Fulfillment (PPAI 261357, D10) lands itself on the inaugural PPAI 100 list as a company with tremendous recent growth and core mission that focuses on responsible decision making.

As part of a corporate diversity initiative, the distributor created a First Tier Program to expand its ability to support diversity and broaden the economic and growth prospects for minorities and women.
