Competitive Edge has been named one of Promotional Products Association International’s (PPAI) 2026 Greatest Companies to Work For. This marks the fourth consecutive year that Competitive Edge has been recognized on the list by PPAI. The honor recognizes branded merchandise distributors and suppliers that foster outstanding workplace cultures.
The recognition is based on direct employee feedback gathered through a companywide evaluation of key workplace factors, including leadership, communication, benefits and professional development. The companies selected set the standard for what it means to be an exceptional place to work in the promotional products industry.
“What stands out most to me is the level of care and understanding the company shows toward its employees. It feels like decisions are made with people in mind, not just outcomes. There’s a genuine commitment to helping individuals grow and succeed. That combination of accountability, support and authenticity makes Competitive Edge a place where I feel valued and motivated to do my best work,” according to anonymous employee feedback submitted as part of the PPAI evaluation.
“Being recognized by PPAI for the fourth consecutive year is a reflection of the people who make Competitive Edge what it is. We’ve worked hard to build a culture where people feel supported, valued and empowered to do their best work,” said Mary Jo Tomasini, CEO of CE. “We’re proud of this recognition, but even more proud of the team behind it and the culture we continue to build together.”
