We are proud to announce that Grossman Marketing Group has been named #34 on the 2026 PPAI 100 list of leading distributors in the promotional products industry.

This recognition places Grossman among the top-performing companies in branded merchandise and promotional marketing, as evaluated by the Promotional Products Association International (PPAI), the industry's largest and most respected trade organization. The PPAI 100 is a research-backed ranking that evaluates companies across multiple performance indicators, including revenue growth, innovation, corporate responsibility, workforce excellence, technology investment, industry leadership, and long-term business performance.

Being recognized among the top 100 distributors is an incredible honor. Being ranked #34 in our first appearance on the list makes the achievement even more meaningful.

More Than a Ranking

For more than 116 years, Grossman Marketing Group has remained committed to helping organizations build stronger brands through creativity, strategic thinking, and exceptional service. As a fourth-generation family-owned company, we've built our business on long-term relationships, trust, and a relentless focus on delivering results for our clients.

This recognition reflects the collective efforts of our employees, clients, supplier partners, and the many organizations that trust us to help bring their brands to life every day.

A Year of Momentum

The past year has been one of significant growth and transformation for Grossman Marketing Group.

In 2025, we completed the acquisition of Cooley Group, the largest acquisition in our company's history. The partnership strengthened our presence in key vertical markets including healthcare and higher education while expanding our team with talented professionals who share our service-first culture and commitment to client success. PPAI specifically cited the acquisition as a key milestone in Grossman's debut ranking on the PPAI 100.

This momentum has also been fueled by continued investments in technology, sustainability initiatives, creative services, e-commerce solutions, print and fulfillment capabilities, and strategic brand experiences that help our clients connect more meaningfully with their audiences.

A Reflection of Our People

Awards and rankings are never achieved by a single individual or department.

They are the result of thousands of daily interactions, creative ideas, problem-solving conversations, and partnerships built over time.

Our team continues to challenge conventions, embrace innovation, and seek new ways to create value for our clients. Whether it's launching a global merchandise program, building a custom online store, developing sustainable marketing solutions, or creating unforgettable event experiences, every member of the Grossman family contributes to our success.

We're also honored that this recognition follows our recent inclusion on PPAI's "Greatest Companies to Work For" list, further reinforcing our belief that exceptional client experiences begin with exceptional employee experiences.

Looking Ahead

While we're honored to be recognized among the industry's leaders, we view this milestone as motivation rather than a destination.

The promotional products industry continues to evolve, and so do the needs of our clients. As we look toward the future, we remain focused on investing in our people, expanding our capabilities, embracing innovation, and helping brands create meaningful connections through merchandise, print, technology, and experiences.

To our employees, clients, supplier partners, and friends: thank you.

Your trust, collaboration, and support have made this achievement possible.

We are grateful for the journey, proud of what we've accomplished together, and excited for what's next.
