3. How do you support distributors growing their businesses?
Berk stands out as a source of expertise in an industry that relies on knowledge. This drives our distributing partners' business forward, offering a wealth of insights and recommendations.

The Berk team leverages this expertise to provide distributors with insights and strategies that enable them to navigate complex markets, identify emerging opportunities, and create growth-oriented initiatives.
4. Is sustainability important to you as a manufacturer?
Yes, we have taken a leading position in sustainability as environmental awareness grows in importance for businesses. Supporting national distributors with eco-friendly manufacturing and sustainable product development is part of our mission.
Recycling Initiatives: At Berk, our unwavering commitment to sustainability shines through in our comprehensive recycling practices. This includes the wide range of materials we use in manufacturing. We recycle imperfect products, end cuts, and cores to minimize waste and maximize resources. This proactive approach reduces our environmental footprint and resonates positively with eco-conscious clients and stakeholders. Embracing sustainability isn't just a choice for us; it's a passion that drives positive change and sets a shining example for others to follow.
Reusable Wipes: We introduced reusable wipes into our portfolio in response to the environmental impact of single-use products. This innovative approach reduces waste, is eco-friendly, and provides exceptional performance and durability. Reusable wipes allow national distributors to establish themselves as environmentally friendly partners, fulfilling growing customer demands.
5. Do you have regional and national reach?
