Who we are
A US based organization that markets, distributes, and manages a distinguished portfolio of branded products within specialized channels globally.
Established in 2005, we developed partnerships with highly recognized brands so as to become an extension of their company into Wholesale Clubs (Costco, Sam’s, BJ’s). Today we service over 1250 Wholesale Club locations worldwide.
With the addition of Amazon and Travel Retail, we continue to extend our scope into fast growing market sectors that can help strengthen and expand businesses on a global scale.
Leveraging our commercial agility and operational know-how, we provide end-to-end solutions that are supported by dynamic business strategies, innovative product initiatives, and state-of-the-art operational platforms, yielding industry leading performance and a win-win partnership for all.
How it works
We invest in a comprehensive commercial and operational infrastructure that is not only turn-key but also absorbs ALL the financial risk for the brand.
As an extension of the brand, we activate a global business development engine to help amplify brands, optimize channel opportunities, and build a mutually prosperous partnership for all.
