Counselor’s exclusive ranking of the suppliers with the most revenue in the promotional products industry.

Koozie Group
(asi/40480)

Koozie Group returned to growth in 2021, with sales rising nearly 18%. The performance bucked a general trend of annual revenue declines that began for the Clearwater, FL-based com­pany before the pandemic and continued in 2020. The sales gain occurred as Koozie Group forged strategic partnerships with brands like Dri Mark and SCX Design and acquired sup­plier HotLine Products.

The firm formerly known as BIC Graphic North America also stepped up its sustainability and corporate social responsibility focus with its first full-year of the “Keep it. Give it.” program, a strategic plan for increasing environmental stewardship and positive social impacts. There were also important moves at the executive level. Power 50 member Melissa Ralston rose to chief revenue officer. Mean­while, Pierre Montaubin and Rachel Rosario earned promotions: Montaubin became senior vice president of product management & sourc­ing, while Rosario is now senior director of marketing & communications. Last year, Koozie Group also started selling internationally again.
