Gemline Expands Corkcicle, Osprey Retail Lines in Canada
The Top 40 company began carrying both product lines in 2020.
Gemline (asi/56070) has brought two of its retail product lines to Canadian promo.
The Top 40 firm is now the exclusive supplier of Corkcicle and Osprey products for promotional products distributors across Canada.
The Osprey Sportlite 25 daypack (101195-496) is now available to the Canadian promo market through Gemline.
Gemline partnered with Orlando, FL-based Corkcicle in January 2020, and has expanded the line over the past two years to include stainless-steel travel tumblers, can coolers, gift sets, bags and glassware that reduce environmental impact. While Gemline offered Corkcicle products to Canadian distributors since the brand partnership began, the company is now the exclusive supplier of Corkcicle to the promo marketplace in Canada.
Gemline began a U.S.-only partnership with Osprey in November 2020. The Colorado-based line of outdoor performance accessories includes daypacks, hiking backpacks, duffels, pouches, wheeled bags and more that come with the company’s All Mighty Guarantee: All repairs of damages or defects are done free of charge, no questions asked.
“We are very excited to be expanding our retail brand partnership reach in Canada,” said Frank Carpenito, president of Gemline. “Our Canadian distributor partners are always looking for high-quality, on-trend retail brands to offer their end-customers. We are thrilled to be a leading source for retail brands in the hard-goods segment across Canada, a distinction we have held in the U.S. over the last few years.”
With $115.5 million in North American promotional products revenue in 2021, Gemline ranked 12th on Counselor’s most recent list of the largest suppliers in the industry. The 2022 rankings will be unveiled in July.
