Dear Distributors,
As your partner in promo, we understand how crucial it is to plan ahead, especially in times when every marketing dollar counts. That's why we want to be upfront about upcoming changes stemming from global tariff shifts and how they will affect pricing.

Recent developments in international trade have resulted in significant tariff increases on imported goods. Ariel has absorbed these costs for the past several months to protect pricing stability, but we are now reaching a point where adjustments will be necessary to continue serving our customers effectively.

Ariel Pricing & Tariff Conditions

As we navigate this evolving landscape, a potential price adjustment is scheduled:

We are actively working to mitigate the impact by holding select containers, exploring alternative sourcing from other countries, and expanding our USA and Mexico-made product lines. We are also reviewing options to reduce costs for Canadian shipments and evaluating special-case scenarios for overseas and cross-border orders that may be affected by real-time tariff changes.

In the coming weeks, Ariel will provide a list of affected items with updated pricing, quoting guidance through our sales team, and additional tools such as FAQs and end-user talking points to help support your customer conversations.

Thank you for your continued partnership as we navigate this together. Our team remains committed to delivering reliable service, innovative solutions, and transparent communication every step of the way.

Thank you,
Yuhling Lu
CEO, Ariel Premium

April 20, 2023 St.Louis, MO - Ariel is proud and thankful to announce that we have won the Supplier Star Award from PPAI's Golden Pyramid Awards for 2023.

The PPAI Supplier Star honors companies and individuals that go above and beyond in communication, customer service, product design, quality products and decoration, as well as a focus on modernizing package design. This award is voted on by PPAI member distributors to select their top suppliers and honor the work they have put in for that year.

“Here at Ariel, we are focused on improving and supporting our distributors through accuracy, accountability and advanced growth, within product design and decoration services. We are honored to have been selected by our peers and awarded for Ariel's movement forward.” - Yuhling Lu

The PPAI Pyramid Awards started in 1958, and has developed its criteria overtime to challenge distributors and suppliers to improve their strategies, sales, market structure, creativity and more.

“Ariel has been a family-run business for over 30 years! It's wonderful to see that the company we started back in 1993 has developed to what it is today with the help of our hard-working family that focus on providing the best service they can. Through their support, we are able to not only focus on Ariel's growth, but our communities and eco-responsibility to address and support future generations.” - Tai Lin Stay tuned this year to see a variety of features and action plans that Ariel is developing to continue our responsibility of taking care of our distributors and our family at Ariel.

October 11, 2022 St.Louis, MO - Ariel Premium Supply is pleased to share that its newly created environmental and social responsibility program has so far raised $24,782 to support key global environmental initiatives. The program, initiated in August and only 2 months old, is simple -- $1.00 is donated for every order placed by Ariel's distributor customers. Through this distributor participation, Ariel Premium and customers alike are making important contributions to the environment. With this early success, Ariel Premium committed to continuing the program to drive more awareness to protect our planet.

The donations are shared monthly between Rainforest Trust and The Ocean Cleanup. Rainforest Trust focuses on tropical-based initiatives targeting preserving land, species and indigenous peoples. The Ocean Project is dedicated to unique solutions to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Each is making a significant impact to protect and clean up our environment.

"We are very pleased to do what small part we can for the environment and preservation," says Yuhling Lu, co-owner of Ariel Premium. "It also allows distributors to participate and contribute to these causes through their purchasing power," she adds.
