When asked what he attributed the increase to, Paul Bellantone, president and CEO of PPAI, said, "Over the last year, PPAI has really tightened its value proposition. We've tightened up and better communicated our value to the industry. Part of that is in those efforts with public affairs, government relations and product safety. All companies are recognizing that's important and needs to be supported."
