The DPA Buying Group recently held its annual Jan/San Buying & Networking Conference at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront in Florida, on April 24-26, 2023. During an awards luncheon, DPA announced its 2022 Founders Award recipient.

DPA’s 2022 Jan/San Founders Award was presented to Essity (Harrodsburg, KY).

“DPA’s Founders Award recognizes a company that has been with our organization since its inception in 2001. Originally joining DPA as Bay West Paper/Wausau, and now Essity, this is the first time in DPA’s history that the Founders Award has been bestowed upon a partner supplier. Our members are very appreciative of Essity’s support and dedication to the organization,” DPA Buying Group CEO Zachary T. Haines said.

The DPA Buying Group is comprised of over 1,200 distributors and approximately 250 preferred suppliers in the janitorial/sanitary, safety, and industrial market segments. DPA connects its independent distributors with its partnered suppliers for increased sales and networking opportunities. Visit www.DPABuyingGroup.com.
