This year, 432 suppliers received the top A+ rating, while another 1,021 suppliers received an A rating. A total of 36 percent of all suppliers in the SAGE database received an award this year. As part of the Power of Two relationship between SAGE and PPAI, SAGE ratings are also considered for eligibility in the industry’s annual PPAI Supplier Star Awards Competition.
"We are always excited to acknowledge our award-winning suppliers for their outstanding achievements during the year," said SAGE president, David Natinsky. "Being awarded with an A+ or A rating from SAGE is something to be very proud of and shows that our industry continues to move in a positive direction with a strong focus on customer service and quality products."

Distributors can rate suppliers at any time using SAGE Online, SAGE Mobile, SAGE Web, or via a "Rate us now" link provided by suppliers. Distributors can only rate each supplier one time, but may change their ratings at any time. Rating awards are given each year based on the aggregate distributor ratings.
