Genumark Has Also Been Named as 2026 Canada’s Best Managed Companies Platinum Club Member
We’re proud to share that Genumark has been named to the 2026 PPAI 100 — and we’ve moved up in the rankings!
The PPAI 100 is a data-driven, ranked measurement of the leading distributors and suppliers in the branded merchandise industry, scored across eight categories vital to the industry’s future. These include growth over a three-year period, credit scores, corporate responsibility and sustainability, digital transformation and security, employee development and satisfaction, and marketing reach. For the first time in 2026, additional scoring weight was given to industry volunteerism and recognition of award-caliber work. Together, these factors establish a clear picture of what leadership in branded merch actually looks like.
It’s not a popularity contest or a self-nomination. The list reflects performance, and that makes it meaningful.
Being recognized among the top distributors in North America is something we don’t take lightly, especially as one of only a handful of Canada-based distributors to make the list. It’s a reflection of the work our team puts in every day to deliver programs that actually perform for the clients we serve.
“Being on the PPAI 100 matters to us because it matters to our clients,” said CEO Mitch Freed. “When organizations are evaluating who to trust with their branded merchandise programs, independent recognition like this gives them confidence they’re working with a distributor that’s built to deliver. That’s what we’re here for.”

We are also very proud to share that Genumark has been recognized as a Canada’s Best Managed Companies Platinum Club member for 2026, marking more than 10 consecutive years on the list. The Platinum Club is the program’s highest tier, reserved for companies that have maintained their Best Managed designation for seven or more years.

There’s no coasting on past results.
