Premier Group Announces Addition of Four Suppliers

The Premier Group has announced four new suppliers members for 2015.

Beacon Promotions, New Ulm, Minn.; Crown Products, Mobile Ala.; Logomark, Tustin, Calif.; and Sweda Company LLC, City of Industry, Calif., have joined the Premier Group, a member-driven alliance of top suppliers and independent distributors dedicated to improving business relationships.

"It is great for our group to have four outstanding companies join us for 2015," Premier Group chairman Mark Stewart, said.

Beacon offers a variety of products, including table covers, badges, housewares, tools and calendars as well as 30 branded product lines for gifts and incentives.

“The Premier Group is a uniquely structured group of suppliers and distributors working together for everyone’s mutual growth through a focused approach," Gary Haley, Beacon's president, said. "The distributor partners represent the very best the industry has to offer.… It’s a privilege for Beacon to be a member of this group.”

Crown, a supplier since 1995, offers bags, coolers, drinkware, personal care, technology, tools, writing instruments and more.

“Being included in the Premier Group has been a goal of Crown Products for a long time, Jay Paparone, Crown's director of sales, said. "Everyone here looks forward to showing off our ‘Whatever It Takes’ service to all of the successful Premier Group members.”

Logomark, a founding member of Quality Certification Alliance (QCA), is excited to join the Premier Group.

“At Logomark, we see an enormous opportunity by being accepted into one of the most visible buying groups in the industry," Brian Padian, Logomark's senior vice president of sales, said. "While we enjoy offering over 4,500 SKUs to the promotional products industry, our selection of products spanning over 18 product categories will become an essential part of the value proposition to the group. Our products and people make a big difference at Logomark, and all of us welcome the opportunity to become an essential part of Premier Group members.”

Founded in 1976, Sweda, also a QCA founding member, offers products over 18 categories, including bags, drinkware, home and office, outdoors, technology and writing instruments.

“I am so excited [for Sweda] to be accepted into the Premier Group Network of elite distributors," Kellie Claudio, vice president of sales at Sweda, said. "We look forward to giving this team of distributors incredible advantages and the opportunity to experience Sweda for 2015.”
