The COVID-19 pandemic was not limited to a select number of countries—it was worldwide. The need for PPE and other medical supplies was also worldwide, which is where [Top Tier Group Inc.](https://www.instagram.com/toptiergroupinc/) came into the picture. The safety division of the company was responsible for the distribution of PPE internationally too many different locales at the request of several government organizations. The company was the recipient of the North American Business Award in 2020 for the moving and subsidy division. How does founder Michael Theodorou explain the expedited international expansion?
**_Multiple Avenues of Business Growth_**
Top Tier Group is a company with multiple avenues and ventures that have taken off amidst the global pandemic. Top Tier Group’s specialty is Top Tier Safety Supplies, but it also offers Top Tier Moving, Top Tier Containers, and Mein Haus Staging. Although the company and brand have been around for ten years, it really began to take off in 2020.
There are only 50 employees, but it is rapidly expanding, going from a pen-and-paper idea to an actionable plan with Theodorou’s drive and motivation to be successful. Drawing from a failed business relationship, he was given the drive and inspiration to create the current business structure that is gaining international recognition.
**_The Tenets of a Successful Business Practice_**
Theodorou attributes the company’s success to the business practices it follows. These practices provide the foundation for the company to expand further into the industries it exists in. Standing behind the quality of the products distributed, each goes through standards and regulatory testing, ensuring the highest quality before it ever lands in a consumer’s hands. Top Tier Group is also knowledgeable in its services, built on great staff and team dynamics. Without all of this, there is no telling if the group would be as successful as it is today.
**_Goals for a Post-Pandemic Society_**
Currently sold online only, Top Tier Group finds that this is the safest way during the pandemic to get the medical supplies to those in need. The online sales’ success has allowed the company to maintain larger inventories of products and take larger quantity orders without trying to fulfill or maintain a storefront location.
Even with this success, there are obstacles that Theodorou and Top Tier Group face, including dealing with regulatory bodies and the high-pressure demands of delivering life-saving products to those in need. Through an organizational structure and design built to deal with these obstacles, the company has found new ways to adapt to the needs and high demands of the PPE and medical supply industries. Top Tier Group’s goals include helping seven different government agencies provide entire countries in need with medical supplies. The company also wants to gain worldwide recognition by becoming a common name in every country in the world.
