Lower influence scores from their Power 50 peers cause Sai Koppaka and Alan Tabasky to slide four spots on this year’s list. Tabasky says that BEL USA – the parent company that owns Top 40 distributor DiscountMugs.com (asi/181120) as well as supplier BEL Promo (asi/39552) – has made progress on a number of goals this year. Those improvements include upgrading the companies’ warehouse automation, increasing its import diversification away from China, and moving closer toward a 24-hour standard ship. Tabasky and Koppaka have maintained the company’s robust culture, as evidenced by the company again earning its Great Place to Work certification this year. “This award is a testament to all of the hard work we have put in to improve the culture and work experience for all of our employees,” Koppaka said. “We set our sights on becoming the employer of choice, and this certification lets us know that we are on the right track.”
