Top Distributor

Bergman Incentives is officially recognized as one of the top 100 promotional product distributors in North America according to the non-profit Promotional Products Association International (PPAI). This is Bergman’s first time appearing on the organization’s leading distributors list, which places the company at #99 in an elite group of high achievers within an industry of more than 25,000 companies.

“We are honored to be recognized as a PPAI 100 distributor,” said Mike Battershell, Bergman Incentives’ president and chief executive officer. “This award is a reflection of the clients who trust us, the team who delivers every day, and the foundation Bergman has built over more than 130 years.”

Ranking Criteria

In its ranking, PPAI gives Bergman high marks for prioritizing professional development through continuing education, employee certifications, and innovation. Bergman exemplifies these qualities in daily operations, evidenced by their prestigious 2025 TASA Distributor Partner of the Year Award which recognizes exceptional leadership and contributions of new ideas and knowledge to the industry.

PPAI also highlights Bergman’s 2025 headquarters move and consolidation. Reviewers are impressed by the company’s new 44,000-square-foot facility and the resulting streamlined workflow as well as the environmental responsibility upgrades implemented during the transition.
