In other company news, Nalpac named Mark Sulewski (pictured at right) as its Salesman of the Year.

came up at Nalpac and Sulewski moved on from the retail environment. After 26 years in the adult nov-
elty industry, Mark’s familiarity with the products and his understanding of what works in any kind of
store are unmatched.
“Mark’s contribution to Nalpac is phenomenal. His sales skills place him at the top of the pack,” sales
manager Thomas Rafferty said.
When asked for words of wisdom, Sulewski said, “I learn something new every day. Never assume you know everything because you will
find that you don’t. Always be open to learning.”
