HUB Promotional Group Adds Debco to Portfolio of Companies

HUB Promotional Group, Braintree, Mass., announced that it finalized a deal yesterday to add Debco, Concord, Ontario, to its portfolio of companies, which also includes Hub Pen Company, Beacon Promotions, Best Promotions USA and Cooler Graphics.

"HUB Promotional Group is extremely excited to partner with Debco Bag Distributors," Joe Fleming, CEO of HUB Promotional Group, said in a press release. "The Debco team has worked very hard to consistently provide value to their customers, and their record of being voted PPPC Supplier of the Year in Canada for 22 out of 24 years is simply amazing. We are pleased and proud to now stand together with Debco and introduce their fine product line to the U.S. market."

Debco is relocating to a new facility in Vaughan, Ontario, this fall, and will be adding the Hub Pen Company line later this year.

Debco's leadership team will remain in their current roles, as well.

"This is also a great opportunity for HUB Promotional Group to tap into [Debco's] manufacturing and distribution channel in Canada for our own product offerings," Fleming added. "Building on the foundation created by Hub Pen (Supplier Star Award) and our partnerships with Beacon, Best USA and Cooler Graphics, the addition of Debco to the HUB Promotional Group family of companies enables us to serve a much larger North American customer base with the same award winning passion for excellence in both product value and customer service."

"It was very important to us that we partner with a firm that shares our values and is committed to extending and accelerating our growth in Canada and the U.S.," said Steven Gallen, president of Debco. "Joining HUB Promotional Group provides us with the resources and the support to promise more and deliver more to our customers."

Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
