The promotional products industry’s largest distributorship has named its top supplier and leading supplier rep partner.

At the Sterling, IL-headquartered company’s Sales Achievement Gala in Las Vegas, HALO Branded Solutions (asi/356000) named Top 40 supplier Polyconcept North America (PCNA, asi/78897) as its 2022 Supplier of the Year.

More than 1,000 HALO account executives and support team members company-wide voted to determine the award winners.

Holly Brown, PCNA’s chief revenue officer, said the entire company was honored by the recognition. “We value the spirit of partnership with the HALO team that led to tremendous growth last year and created positive momentum as we begin 2023,” Brown said.

Lee has led Logomark’s support efforts for HALO for more than eight years. “The award goes to the entire Logomark team,” Lee said. “We worked closely with HALO to find every way to help each account executive grow their sales overall, and with Logomark.”

Based on reported 2021 North American promo product revenue of $822 million, HALO ranked first on Counselor’s most recent list of the Top 40 largest distributors in the industry. HALO had a strong 2022, generating total company revenue over $1 billion, the firm revealed in January 2023. The new Top 40 rankings will be revealed later this year.
