Ariel made a big jump on this year’s list, climbing from No. 20 to No. 16 with 21% growth in promo sales over the previous year. Crossing that $100 million threshold felt especially sweet to co-CEO Yuhling Lu since it coincided with Ariel’s 30th anniversary. So, what worked for the supplier? It dug deeper into drinkware and reaped the benefits, and relied on big sellers like its AeroLoft belt bag. Lu says the top goal of Ariel Premium Supply this year is to expand its collection of sustainable products, “with a focus on FSC, GRS, renewable and recycled materials across multiple product categories.”
