Sock Club Rises to No. 30 on PPAI 100 Suppliers List, Up from No. 57 in Debut Year
Austin, Texas — Sock Club, the leading custom sock supplier serving distributors and brands nationwide, has been named to the 2025 PPAI 100 Suppliers list for the second consecutive year, climbing to No. 30 from its debut ranking of No. 57 in 2024. The PPAI 100 is a data-driven ranking published annually by the Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) that measures the leading distributors and suppliers in the promotional products industry across eight key categories.
Sock Club’s 2025 ranking reflects High Marks in three categories: Industry Faith, recognized through a SAGE A+ supplier rating; Employee Happiness, recognized through an ASI Counselor’s Best Places to Work designation; and Online Presence, driven by the company’s proprietary, custom-built user account system, enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform, and in-house design tools.
“Being named to the PPAI 100 for the second year in a row — and moving up 27 spots — is a reflection of the incredible team we’ve built and the trust our distributor partners place in us every day,” said Noah Lee, Founder and CEO of Sock Club. “We started this company with a commitment to doing things the right way, and these recognitions tell us we’re on the right track. None of it would be possible without the people who choose to work with us and the customers who keep coming back.”
The recognition comes as Sock Club continues to invest in the tools and infrastructure that make the ordering and design process as seamless as possible for distributors. The company’s proprietary technology allows distributor partners to manage accounts, submit orders, and preview designs through an intuitive, purpose-built platform — reducing friction at every step of the process.
“What sets Sock Club apart is that we are not just a manufacturer — we are a technology-forward partner,” said Max Williamson, VP of Sales. “Distributors tell us that working with us feels different from working with other suppliers, and that is by design. We have invested heavily in the systems and the people that make their jobs easier, and climbing the PPAI 100 is a sign that the industry is noticing.”
PPAI 100 evaluates companies across eight categories including revenue, three-year growth, industry trust, corporate responsibility, digital transformation and security, employee development and satisfaction, and marketing reach. Sock Club’s High Marks in Industry Faith, Employee Happiness, and Online Presence underscore the company’s emphasis on building a business that earns trust from the inside out.
“I am so proud of what this team has accomplished,” said Chloe Tabler, VP of Marketing. “From the people who show up every day and love what they do, to the distributors who trust us to deliver for their clients — this ranking belongs to all of them. We are not slowing down.”
