HOT SPRINGS (May 21, 2018) – The United Group (TUG) is a national, member-owned sales and marketing group for independent, B2B distributors of Jan/San, Packaging, Foodservice and Safety products and equipment.

The United Group team seeks to foster and strengthen relationships between suppliers and its members via a transparent and collaborative culture.

At their annual supplier conference, TUG awards suppliers Pinnacle, Gold and Silver awards in three categories: Food Service, Jan/San, and Industrial Packaging.

We were proud to receive TUG’s Gold award for “Growth and Excellence in Industrial Packaging.” This is the first time we’ve received this honor from TUG. The winners are chosen by TUG members and, of the 117 exhibiting suppliers, only nine received awards. We’re honored!
