Counselor’s exclusive ranking of the suppliers with the most revenue in the promotional products industry.
Edwards Garment
(asi/51752)
Revenues were up 28.3% last year at the Kalamazoo, MI-based supplier, which helped bump it up four spots in the Top 40. Specializing in uniform and industry attire, Edwards attributes its growth to maintaining robust inventory levels and an economic surge in the second half of 2021. Jose Gomez, previously the company’s senior vice president of operations, took over as president last summer with longtime company head Gary Schultz beginning his transition into full retirement. Another change: In November, the company rebranded Bishop Custom Clothing (which it had acquired in 2019) as EdwardsX, and in the spring brought on Max Feldman, who had worked for Lululemon and other apparel outfits, to be vice president of the company’s custom apparel arm.
Previous Rank: 24
2021 Revenue: $70.3
