Welcome to the 2018 Power 50 list, which ranks the most influential people in the industry.

#31 Ira Neaman, Vantage Apparel (asi/93390)

2017 Rank: 32
Title: President
Industry Experience: 41 years

After dropping six spots last year, Neaman is again on the upswing in our rankings, backed by stronger 2018 influence scores from other Power 50 members. Vantage, which Neaman founded in 1977, improved its promo sales to $49.6 million in 2017 and moved up two slots in the Top 40. Neaman’s Vantage has clearly won an enduring niche in providing decorated apparel and is a perennial Distributor Choice Award winner in that category.
