Suzette Albrecht is a success story.
Under her leadership as president/co-owner, Proforma Albrecht & Co. (asi/116308) has grown into a distributorship that produces $43 million in annual sales while satisfying customers with creative solutions and top-notch service.
For all that and more, Suzette Albrecht earned a Bronze Award in the Best Female Entrepreneur category at the 19th-annual Stevie Awards for Women in Business. An international competition, the awards honor women executives, entrepreneurs, employees and their companies and are often referred to as being among the world’s premiere business awards.
“I am humbled to be in the company of so many amazing women who are making an impact in business and their communities,” said Albrecht. “Most importantly, I want to thank Proforma, my incredible business partner Fred Albrecht, our amazing sales team, and dedicated employees for helping me build one of the top female-owned companies in the promotional products industry.”
The Albrechts joined Top 40 distributor Proforma’s (asi/300094) network of affiliate owners in 2000. Out of a network of more than 500 distributor owners, Albrecht & Co. has been Proforma’s top annual producer since 2006.

In addition, Albrecht & Co. has placed on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies. It has also been featured in ASI Media’s Best Places to Work in the promo industry list.
“Suzette Albrecht constantly pushes herself, her company and the Proforma name to new levels of triumph,” said Vera Muzzillo, CEO of Proforma and a member of Counselor’s Power 50 list of promo’s most influential people. “Her business is a rarity in the promotional products space, and her company is consistently finding ways to improve and stay at the top of the industry. The recognition she is receiving is well deserved.”
Based on reported 2021 North American promotional product revenue of $540.8 million, Proforma ranked fourth on Counselor’s most recent list of the largest distributors in the industry.
