If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the past 30 years, it’s this: our industry runs on relationships.

This year has already been full of events that have taken the Modernfold Chicago team from Quebec City to Punta Cana to Bellport, New York. And every single stop has reinforced just how fortunate we are to work alongside some of the best manufacturers and distributors in the world.

Skyfold 3^rd Annual Special Achievement Awards
Quebec City, Canada

It’s a special feeling gathering with partners who are just as committed to innovation and excellence as you are. The Skyfold Special Achievement Awards in Quebec City gave us just that. We enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate standout accomplishments, reconnect with familiar faces, and share ideas that continue to push our industry forward.

We’ll be the first to tell you that we will never skip an opportunity to celebrate a win. But this event was about more than that. It was all about collaboration. Putting our heads together with others in the industry to learn what’s working, where the industry is headed, and how we can all continue delivering smarter, more effective solutions for our clients.

Modernfold President’s Club Play-to-Win Awards Trip
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

The setting? Breathtaking. However, what made this trip truly memorable was the time we spent reflecting on the work that got us there.

The President’s Club trip is more than recognition. In our fast-paced industry, we’re often moving from project to project without stopping to acknowledge milestones. This trip gives our team the chance to take a breath, celebrate successes, strengthen relationships, and return home re-energized and ready to win again.

McKeon Bi-Annual Distributor Roundtable
Bellport, NY

Imagine an event where you always walk away feeling sharper than when you arrived. That’s our experience with the McKeon Bi-Annual Distributor Roundtable.

The roundtable is a space for honest conversations with fellow distributors and manufacturers. We talk through challenges, growth opportunities, and how we continue to raise the bar. These gatherings are a reminder that while we may operate in different markets, we’re all working towards the same goal: delivering exceptional performance, reliability, and service.

It’s All About Relationships

If you haven’t heard, we’re passionate about relationships. For more than 30 years, our customers have depended on the people, products, and collaboration they get from our second-generation, family-owned and operated business. And we don’t take the privilege lightly.

We believe relationships within our industry matter just as much. That’s why we stay involved with peer groups like the Distributor’s Council and the Independent Network of North American Distributors. These connections give us insight, accountability, and most importantly, collaboration.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to start 2026 with events that allowed us to strengthen those partnerships and celebrate the progress we’re making together.

So, here’s to the rest of 2026 and wherever the next suitcase takes us!
