MAY 21, 2026 – ST. PAUL, Minn. – www.crystal-d.com – Crystal D, leading supplier of crystal awards and gifts, has been named to the PPAI 100 Suppliers list for 2026, the third consecutive year the company has been included.
Recognized as the promotional products industry’s highest honor, the PPAI 100 spotlights the leading 100 suppliers and 100 distributors based on data-driven objective scoring. The rankings are derived from eight key metrics that reveal the qualities behind sustained success, including revenue, business growth over time, corporate social responsibility, technology practices, workforce strength, employee happiness, industry faith and more.
In its writeup about Crystal D (#100), PPAI made note of the company’s ability to handle adversity like the cyberattack it experienced in 2025 that forced its systems offline—and yet 97% of orders Crystal D received during the outage still shipped out on time.
PPAI also gave a nod to strategic personnel moves within Crystal D’s operations and sales teams, as well as its commitment to giving back. Each year, 20 percent of sales from the company’s Legacy Gallery are donated to four nonprofits doing work around the world: Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, International Rett Syndrome Foundation, Water for South Sudan and 4 Paws for Ability.
“Thank you to PPAI for recognizing the work our Memory Makers at Crystal D do in service to our customers every day,” said Jeanne Dahlgren, president. “We strive to deliver incredible customer experiences, even when we encounter headwinds. I’m proud of how Crystal D continues to evolve to meet emerging needs, and I’m excited for what’s ahead for us.”
