Prime Line, Bridgeport, Conn., announced it acquired the Leeman New York product line from Leeman Designs, Woodbury, N.Y. Leeman Designs has been supplier in the promotional products industry for nearly 30 years, and offers a wide range of leather and glass items including portfolios, luggage tags, jotters and desk items.
Prime Linewill begin producing Leeman Designs products at its Bridgeport, Conn. plant starting February 1, 2010. To provide a seamless transition, all Leeman Designs e-mail and telephone contacts will remain in place even after the transition.
“This is a great opportunity to add a marquee industry brand to the Prime family,” said Jeff Lederer, executive vice president of Prime Line. “The quality of the Leeman line is unmatched and the items are outstanding. The acquisition gives Prime’s distributors even more amazing items to choose from.” Lederer continued, “The 2010 Leeman New York Gift Collection catalog is full of creative and fresh ideas, perfect for any corporate gift program, trade show, gift-with-purchase or even an employee gift.”
Zachary Mankes, founder of Leeman Designs commented, “I started the company in 1981 and am so pleased to pass the torch to Prime Line. Prime and Leeman make a perfect match to expose the Leeman brand of leather promotional items to a wider distributor audience.”
