FERNDALE, Mich. — Nalpac is celebrating its 2021 XBIZ Awards win for "Progressive Distributor of the Year."
Recipients of the 2021 XBIZ Awards, presented by MyFreeCams, were revealed Thursday, January 14 during a live broadcast on XBIZ.tv.
A rep noted Nalpac "overcame considerable challenges in 2020 and came out stronger than ever. With the dramatic impact of a global pandemic, staggering [safety] requirements posed a massive hurdle for many brick-and-mortar retailers to reopen. Nalpac was the first distributor to secure and offer PPE to the industry, including masks, gloves, cleaning disinfectants and hand sanitizers, all made in the U.S.A. Nalpac also ran a 20-week long 'F*ck COVID' campaign offering deep discounts, promotional items and free product giveaways to support Nalpac customers in a financially difficult time."
"In 2021 Nalpac will continue to make strides with the onboarding of new brands, unveiling a fresh, dynamic website, and continuing to grow their educational resources with more buyers guides, webinars, and award-winning episodes of the web series 'Dicks with Don,'" continued the rep. "Nalpac will also have some big surprises coming this year, including celebrating their 50th year in business."
Nalpac CEO Steve Craig praised his team.
"I'm truly proud and privileged to be associated with such an amazing group of individuals," he said. "Our team works hard every day to ensure the success of our loyal customers and manufacturing partners."
Senior Buyer Don Zerilli offered additional commendation.
"Individual awards are great, but no matter what, it takes a team, including our fantastic customers, amazing manufacturing partners both past and present, and all the wonderful Nalpac team members. 2020 was very trying, to say the least, but as they say, 'When the going gets tough, the tough get going', and this industry is full of some tough SOB's."
