Written by Alyssa Wilcox | 7/1/25 3:31 PM

Choosing a branded merchandise partner isn’t just about who can print your logo—it’s about who truly understands your brand. Someone who treats your goals like their own, brings fresh ideas to the table, and delivers with the kind of excellence that elevates your work. That’s why Centricity being named to the 2025 PPAI Top 100 matters—not just for us, but for you. 

 

We’re proud to share that Centricity was recently recognized as one of the Top 50 promotional product distributors in the U.S., placing #48 out of more than 30,000, according to the Promotional Products Association International (PPAI). This recognition isn’t based on revenue alone. PPAI uses a 500-point system that evaluates: 

  • Innovation 
  • Responsibility (including DEI and sustainability) 
  • Employee experience 
  • Professional development 
  • Online presence 
  • Client trust 
  • Growth 

 

This ranking means you’re partnering with a team that's already been vetted across the metrics that matter to your organization: transparency, impact, and long-term thinking. 

 

For Our Corporate Clients 

We understand what you're balancing—brand consistency, tight timelines, growing compliance needs, and ambitious sustainability goals. Our spot in the PPAI Top 100 is validation that you don’t have to compromise. This recognition affirms you can expect a partner who: 

  • Integrates seamlessly with your team to design scalable brand experiences 
  • Proactively brings you product and packaging ideas that align with your mission 
  • Balances speed, creativity, and compliance in regulated industries 
  • Measures program performance beyond impressions—tracking loyalty, sentiment, and return on engagement 

 

For Associations 

When you're leading an association, every branded touch-point represents your members. They expect quality, relevance, and purpose—delivered with consistency. Our place in the Top 50 confirms that: 

  • We know how to support decentralized chapters while honoring brand standards 
  • We’ve helped national associations build non-dues revenue programs that scale 
  • We deliver custom uniform, recognition, and merchandising programs with minimal lift for your internal teams 

 

Why This Isn't About Bragging Rights 

The truth? We didn’t pursue this ranking to win an award. We earned it by doing what we do best: partnering deeply, solving creatively, and executing flawlessly. 

Our clients don’t just want another vendor with a catalog of products. They want a partner who:

  • Ask the right questions 
  • Uncover the real needs beneath the initial ask 
  • Bring forward a solution that reflects their identity, not ours 

 

At Centricity, we’ve built our business on showing up differently—thinking outside the box, delivering innovative solutions, and offering exceptional service. This recognition tells us that our approach works. 

 

Whether you’re a Fortune 500 company, a growing startup, or a national association, Centricity is here to support your branded merchandise needs.
