About Concord Marketing Solutions
Concord Marketing Solutions, Inc. was established in 1993 and has been named one of the Top 50 promotional product distributors in the U.S. With over 100 employees, we have experienced substantial growth over the past five years as a result of winning new customers that appreciate our focus on service, creative solutions, and our inventory management system that provides just in time embroidered goods.
Since 2002, Concord has specialized in operating company store programs with a specific focus on delivering key brands with a ‘pay as you go’ solution. These key features have allowed us to thrive in many industries. We currently operate 100+ online store programs, supporting multiple locations across the U.S. Concord has pioneered a unique on-demand embroidery model for corporate stores in the U.S.
Concord maintains one, centralized distribution site at its headquarters at 195 Exchange Boulevard, Glendale Heights, Illinois, and sales offices in New Jersey, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Ohio and Arizona. We also run embroidery, heat seal and laser engraving operations in the headquarters facility. Our centrally located geographic distribution center is ideal for national distribution and our 42,000 square foot facility allows us to operate our on-demand in-house embroidery and fulfillment system with maximum efficiencies and the lowest possible costs for our clients.
From 2013 to 2020, Concord has been named as one of the Best Places to Work by the Counselor Magazine and in 2019, we were recognized by the Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) as one if its “Greatest Companies to Work For.”
