The partnership aligns with Gemline’s mission to bring forward-thinking product options to distributor partners, according to the Counselor Top 40 supplier.
Key Takeaways
• Gemline (asi/56070) has partnered with Ringo to offer the Ringo Pro water bottle, which combines double-wall insulation with a built-in MagSafe-compatible tripod mount for hands-free phone use during workouts, video calls or content creation.
• The leakproof, BPA-free bottle keeps drinks cold for 24 hours or hot for 12, and comes in six colors and two sizes (24 oz. and 32 oz.).
• Ringo, which debuted via a 2023 Kickstarter campaign and launched the Ringo Pro in 2025, has gained popularity for eliminating the need for separate tripods and integrating the phone mount into its hydration gear.
Gemline (asi/56070) is adding a new lifestyle hydration brand to its growing product lineup.
The Counselor Top 40 supplier and certified B Corp has announced a new partnership with Ringo, a tech-enabled water bottle brand that allows users to hydrate while mounting their phones to check emails, listen to music or watch a video.
The Ringo Pro Water Bottle with Magnetic Booster Ring (102994) comes in six colors and two different sizes.
Here’s how it works: The Ringo Pro water bottle with Magnetic Booster Ring (102994) pairs double-wall stainless-steel insulation with a built-in MagSafe-compatible tripod mount. This combination allows users to securely position their phones for workouts, video calls or hands-free content creation, according to Gemline. The leakproof, BPA-free water bottles keep beverages cold for up to 24 hours or hot for up to 12.
“As an up-and-comer in the drinkware space, Ringo represents a new category of tech-enabled hydration, one that perfectly aligns with Gemline’s mission to bring meaningful, forward-thinking products to our distributor partners,” said Frank Carpenito, CEO of Gemline and a member of Counselor’s Power 50 list of most influential people in the industry.
Ringo entered the hydration retail scene by way of a Kickstarter campaign in 2023. The brand launched Ringo Pro in early 2025 and has grown as a popular accessory for fitness enthusiasts and content creators. Ringo Pro allows users to follow along with digital workouts and film content hands-free.
“Ringo is the first brand to design a water bottle that functions as a true piece of training equipment – functional, stylish and built for everyday use,” Ringo founder Chris Place said last year. “It eliminates the need for tripods, making it seamless to follow fitness apps or create content during workouts. And because it’s your daily water bottle, it’s always with you when you need it.”
The Ringo Pro Water Bottle with Magnetic Booster Ring (102994) is now available through Gemline in six colors and comes in 24-oz. and 32-oz. sizes.
Gemline has forged exclusive partnerships with several retail brands over the last few years, including Ahead (asi/33220), a company known for its premium headwear and golf accessories, and Yankee Candle. Just last week, the Lawrence, MA-based supplier became the exclusive provider of Dometic, an outdoor retail brand specializing in coolers and drinkware and the parent company of household name brands like Igloo and Cool Gear.
Based on 2024 North American promotional products revenue of $136 million, Gemline ranks 14th on Counselor’s most recent list of the industry’s largest suppliers.
