Welcome to the 2019 Power 50 list, which ranks the most influential people in the industry.

#24 David Klatt & Dave Saracino, BIC Graphic North America (asi/40480)

2018 Rank: 25

Seasoned executive Klatt and industry veteran Saracino (Counselor’s 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award winner) aren’t afraid to explore new avenues of sales and expand their promo reach. As a top hard goods supplier, BIC partnered with Grillight, Cap America and HanesBrands this summer, ballooning its product offerings to include writing instruments, drinkware, apparel, headwear, grilling accessories and tech items. BIC’s 2018 North American promo product sales of $314.1 million, a slight increase after three years of declining revenue, has helped the duo’s profile in the industry, as evidenced by a bump up in the rankings.
