Longtime supplier members of the APA recently marked more than 50 years of continuous membership.
The long-running memberships highlight both their longevity and the association’s deep roots in the industry.
Classic Medallics and Singer Company (member since 1970), Simba (1975), and Julie of California (1976) each joined when the organization was still in its early iteration as the California-based Trophy Dealers of America.
Founded in 1967 with just 13 members, the association quickly became a hub for collaboration and growth, including hosting the industry’s first trophies-only trade show in 1974.
