APPA member Headwear has been ranked #26 on the 2026 PPAI Top 100 Suppliers list, marking its second consecutive year at this level.
The annual ranking recognises leading suppliers across the promotional products industry, based on verified performance across operations, responsibility, and innovation.
This year’s result reflects continued strength across key areas of the business. Headwear was recognised as a PPAI Greatest Companies to Work For in both 2024 and 2025, while maintaining strong operational consistency, including high on-time delivery performance and a broad distributor network.
The company also received significant independent recognition for its commitment to responsible business practices. Headwear achieved EcoVadis Gold status, supported by ongoing investment in sustainability frameworks, data transparency, and formalised internal policies. This has strengthened both operational efficiency and customer confidence, particularly as demand for verified sustainability standards continues to grow.
Additional milestones over the past year include securing FIFA approval to produce World Cup merchandise and successfully completing further SEDEX audits, reinforcing the company’s global compliance, quality, and ethical manufacturing standards.
“Achieving this ranking for a second consecutive year reflects the consistency of our performance and the strength of our underlying business,” said Peter Barblett, Executive Director of Headwear “We remain focused on delivering reliable service, maintaining high standards, and continuing to build long-term trust with our customers around the world.”
APPA congratulates Headwear USA on this well-deserved recognition.
