Austin, Texas-based Boundless Network, a technology-enabled branded merchandise distributor, announced it acquired Dallas-based distributor Corporate Specialties.
“Corporate Specialties represents one of the promotional industry’s top brands,” said Boundless Network CEO Jason Black. “The Corporate Specialties partnership is a great example of how the Boundless support platform helps branded merchandise professionals reach their goals in this tough economic climate. Today, providing a winning solution to a company’s branded merchandise needs, backed by a cost-saving platform, is key to retaining customers.” Black continued, “By joining Boundless, Carol Stone and team are in a strong position to continue building on their history of success.”
Corporate Specialties founder Carol Stone added, “In this economy, we need a partner who can help us demonstrate that we offer strategic marketing and branding value to our clients—instead of a product solution that is common to the promotional products industry.”
In 2009, Boundless Network plans to continue recruiting top independent promotional professionals, while acquiring top promotional products distributors with revenues between $2 million and $10 million that are located in key regions throughout the country.
In three years, Boundless Network has grown from two to more than 150 employees. During the past 12 months, the company has completed eight acquisitions as part of a successful nationwide expansion from a single location to 18 regional offices located coast-to-coast.
