Top 40 Suppliers 2022: No. 6 Koozie Group
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.
