Speakers from Soundcore by Anker and linen-wrapped wireless chargers from Courant are part of the new offerings from Gemline.

“Partnering with innovative and trusted consumer electronics companies enables us to rapidly expand our technology product offering to provide our customers with a targeted array of cutting-edge products from leading consumer brands,” said Gemline President Frank Carpenito. “These new tech products from some of the hottest retail brands in the marketplace make for perfect year-round gifts for employees, clients, prospects and more.”

Gemline began selling high-speed charging devices from Anker in December 2019. Strong sales followed, compelling the supplier to expand its Anker offerings to now include speakers, headphones and earbuds. Soundcore by Anker is a division of Anker Innovations, which makes smart tech devices for entertainment and travel.

Meanwhile, Gemline also introduced the Courant Essentials Collection, a line of linen-wrapped wireless chargers from what the supplier described as its newest brand partner, Courant.

The Courant Essentials Collection was recently selected as one of Oprah’s Favorite Things, among other accolades. Gemline launched its initial partnership with Very Great, Courant’s parent company, in September of 2019 with the introduction of their W&P brand, known for modern kitchen products, barware, entertainment accessories and lifestyle gifts.

Founded in 1958, Lawrence, MA-headquartered Gemline is Counselor’s 2021 Supplier of the Year. The firm reported 2020 North American promo product sales of $115.5 million, good enough to rank Gemline 12th on Counselor’s annual list of the 40 largest suppliers in the industry.
