Aalberts Awarded 2025 Gold Status with Key Partner

Aalberts Earns 2025 Current Distribution Group (CDG) Gold Status Achievement Award for Commitment to Customer Partnership

Working closely with customers, listening to what they need and creating opportunities to grow together are central to how Aalberts is building a more customer-centric business.

That commitment was recently recognized through receiving the 2025 Current Distribution Group Gold Status Achievement Award from IMARK, now part of the broader Current Distribution Group (CDG) network.

For Aalberts, earning Gold is more than an award. It reflects the work happening every day to strengthen relationships with distributor partners, create more meaningful customer engagement and ultimately help our customers succeed.

Turning Customer Centricity Into Action

Being customer-centric starts with understanding that every customer has different priorities, opportunities and challenges.

That means engagement cannot stop when a product is sold.

Throughout 2025, Aalberts continued to expand the ways we collaborate with CDG Plumbing members, creating more opportunities to discuss their businesses, identify areas for growth and provide the products, programs and support they need.

Those plans were supported by ongoing engagement throughout the year, including mid-year reviews designed to evaluate progress, discuss opportunities and keep both organizations aligned.

Creating More Ways to Engage and Deliver Value

Customer engagement also means finding different ways to provide value throughout the year.

Aalberts participated in multiple exclusive promotional opportunities for IMARK Plumbing members in 2025, giving distributor partners additional ways to connect their customers with Aalberts piping system solutions.

Behind the scenes, our teams also supported the partnership through consistent reporting and data sharing. Providing timely transactional information helps create greater visibility into performance, identify opportunities and support more informed conversations between Aalberts, CDG and its members.

Together, these activities represent a broader shift in how we think about customer relationships.

It is not simply about asking, “What can we sell?”

It is about understanding what our customers are trying to accomplish and how Aalberts can help them get there.

Stronger Partnerships Build Stronger Businesses

Independent distributors play an important role in the plumbing and piping industries, and organizations like CDG help bring those businesses together through shared resources, strategic programs and supplier partnerships.

Today, IMARK Plumbing is part of Current Distribution Group, an organization focused on strengthening independent distribution through collaboration, strategic partnerships, shared resources and opportunities for sustainable growth.

Those values closely align with how Aalberts wants to serve its customers.

We want to be easier to do business with. We want to listen more closely. We want to understand where our customers are headed and make sure we are providing the products, solutions and support they need to get there.

Partnerships like the one between Aalberts and CDG gives us an important opportunity to put those commitments into practice.

Gold Is a Milestone, Not the Finish Line

Achieving Gold status for 2025 is an honor, and we are proud of the teams and customer partners who made it possible.

But the greatest value of the recognition is what it represents.

It represents conversations with customers.

It represents shared goals.

It represents programs built around mutual growth.

And it represents a continued commitment to listening, learning and improving the experience we provide to the customers who rely on Aalberts every day.

As an industry leader in integrated piping systems, our responsibility extends beyond providing quality products. It means helping our distributor partners compete, grow and better serve their own customers.

We are proud to continue collaborating with Current Distribution Group, supporting their members and finding new ways to create success together.

Because when our customers grow, we grow with them.
