It’s been an active year for Stran (PPAI 161542, D10). Summer of 2022 saw the Massachusetts-based distributor expand into the South by acquiring the assets and business of Texas-based distributor Trend Brand Solutions. Then Stran kicked off 2023 by announcing the acquisition of T R Miller, including its 20,000-square-foot distribution and processing center. It’s no surprise to see “Growth” as a high mark for Stran, as their Q1 revenue report showed a nearly 30% increase in revenue over 2022.
