In addition to the gold, silver and bronze category winners featured in Promo Marketing's annual Supplier Excellence Awards issue, released every July, Promo Marketing staff compile a report of the largest and most successful supplier companies in the promotional products industry. The result is Promo Marketing's Top 50 Suppliers, the industry's definitive supplier listing.
This year's Top 50 Suppliers list shows the growth and resurgent strength of the promotional products industry. The companies that made the list (a total of 51 due to a tie) saw a combined $300 million increase in 2013 sales over 2012 sales. Companies that have previously not appeared made it onto the 2014 list, like Optigraphics, which raised its sales $5,000,000 in 2013. The Top 50 Suppliers this year had total sales volume of $5.4 billion, more than a quarter of the $19 billion reported by the entire industry in 2013.
The full list of Top 50 Suppliers for 2014 is available now. For more information on the Top 50 and on the Supplier Excellence Awards, please read the July 2014 issue of Promo Marketing.
