ARCO Marine is proud to announce that it has been named the 2026 National Marine Distributors Association (NMDA) Platinum Supplier of the Year, while also receiving Special Focus Awards for Supply Chain Excellence and Marketing during the NMDA S.T.E.P. Conference in Rosemont, Illinois. The awards are voted on by NMDA's wholesale marine distributor members and recognize suppliers that demonstrate outstanding performance in customer service, product quality, distribution support, innovation, marketing, and overall partnership within the marine industry.

Receiving the Platinum Supplier of the Year award represents one of the highest honors in the recreational marine industry. The additional Special Focus Awards for Supply Chain Excellence and Marketing further recognize ARCO Marine's commitment to delivering exceptional value to its distribution partners through operational excellence, dependable product availability, and industry-leading marketing support.

Over the past year, ARCO Marine has made significant investments in American manufacturing, product innovation, and operational excellence. The company recently opened a dedicated Zeus High Energy manufacturing facility in Pensacola, Florida, bringing the production of its rapidly expanding Zeus product line under one roof. The new facility manufactures the complete Zeus family of products, including the recently introduced Zeus Omega™ Smart Charging System, further strengthening ARCO's ability to deliver innovative charging solutions with exceptional quality, shorter lead times, and increased production capacity. These investments, combined with enhanced inventory availability, expanded distributor marketing programs, and continued improvements throughout the supply chain, have enabled ARCO to provide an even higher level of service to its distribution partners.

Since introducing the Zeus High Energy product line, ARCO Marine has continued to redefine onboard charging technology through innovative products that deliver greater performance, reliability, and ease of installation for today's increasingly demanding electrical systems. From high output alternators and intelligent Bluetooth regulators to the modular Zeus Omega™ Smart Charging System, ARCO continues to invest in technologies that help boat builders, installers, distributors, and boat owners stay ahead of the industry's evolving power requirements.

These awards reflect ARCO Marine's long standing commitment to American manufacturing, engineering excellence, and customer support. By continually investing in its people, facilities, and technology, the company remains focused on providing innovative products and unmatched service to its customers around the world.

The NMDA Supplier of the Year Awards have recognized supplier excellence since 1972. Winners are selected through voting by NMDA wholesale distributor members, making the awards a direct reflection of supplier performance as evaluated by the industry's leading distribution partners.
