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

SanMar

(asi/84863)

SanMar continues its reign as the largest promotional products supplier, with an 18% sales increase from 2021 to 2022. It’s no surprise that the Issaquah, WA-based firm, led by Power 50 member Jeremy Lott, was recently deemed one of the Best Managed Companies in the U.S. by Deloitte Private and The Wall Street Journal.

The company has made notable announcements and investments on a number of fronts. In March the supplier revealed it’s investing about $50 million to establish a 1.1 million-square-foot flagship distribution center in Hanover County, VA, (expected to be fully operational in 2024) that will employ about 1,000 people and help inventory and shipping efficiencies. Continuing its pattern of aligning with top-tier brands, at the beginning of the year SanMar announced a partnership with iconic retail label Brooks Brothers.

The multibillion-dollar supplier is also a sustainability leader – last year announcing its plans to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
