FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – January 22, 2024 – FERNDALE, Michigan – America’s largest adult distributor, Nalpac (www.nalpac.com), has won three XBIZ Executive Awards honoring Steve Craig, Andy Craig and Phoebe Grott.
Each year, the Nominees are selected based on a range of success factors, including business acumen, reputation in the community and overall leadership.
Nalpac’s CEO Steve Craig won the Entrepreneur of the Year award. In 2023, Nalpac announced that just five years after purchasing Nalpac, Steve had closed a deal to acquire rival distributor Entrenue. Under Steve Craig’s leadership, the company has experienced exponential growth while continuing to build strong relationships.
“Receiving this award is a real honor, and I am delighted to accept it not only on my behalf, but also for the incredible individuals who make up the Nalpac and Entrenue teams. This has really been a great year for us with lots of changes and the exciting new challenge of running a specialist distribution business alongside Nalpac,” said CEO Steve Craig.
The winner for C-Suite Exec of the Year was Chief Operating Officer Andy Craig. Andy plays an important role in ensuring the supply chain and warehouses run smoothly. This year, Andy’s primary focus has been on integrating the operational, shipping and warehouse systems at Entrenue to ensure customers receive the same level of exceptional service as Nalpac.
“Thank you to Nalpac/Entrenue suppliers and customers for all your support and confidence in our team and services. And a big thank you to my brother Steve for being the best business partner and employee. We are excited about what 2024 will bring and how we can build tools for success across all channels,” said Andy Craig, COO.
Nalpac’s highly regarded Director of Marketing and Strategic Partnership, Phoebe Grott, won Marketing Exec of the Year. Phoebe has been instrumental in growing and maintaining manufacturing partners and retail customer relationships, while helping to secure several U.S. product exclusives in 2023 and as early as 2024.
“The success of Nalpac’s marketing channel is a credit to our manufacturer partners and our customers who trust us to work with them to support sales education and merchandising tools. Thank you to our mature business community and to XBIZ for awarding us the 2024 XBIZ Marketing Exec of the Year. We have a great team and this award is shared with them,” said Phoebe Grott, Director of Marketing and Strategic Partnership.
