“We are extremely proud to have the largest, most successful group of million-dollar producers in our industry,” said Greg Muzzillo, Proforma founder. “We know what it takes to build a multimillion-dollar distributorship, and we have put the tools and resources in place to help our owners grow their sales as much as they want so they can live the life of their dreams.”

During the awards ceremony, four Proforma businesses were recognized for achieving $1 million in sales in a single month last year: Bill Hageman, Jim Shindler and Jeff Skinner, co-owners of Proforma Graphic Services (five times); Fred and Suzette Albrecht, co-owners of Proforma Albrecht & Co.

The Albrechts, members of the 25 Million Dollar Club, were also recognized for attaining four $2 million sales months and four $3 million sales months.

Mike Smith, owner of Smith Solutions Powered by Proforma and a first-time Million Dollar Club member, said joining Proforma has helped his company achieve its sales goals. “We wanted to grow our business, and Proforma delivered on their promise to help us get there,” he said. “Now, we finally have a plan for continued growth, and this trip has made me feel rejuvenated and motivated to achieve even more success this year.”
