Six years ago when alphabroder acquired Prime Line, it continued the trend of top suppliers diversifying their offerings to include both hard goods and apparel. In April the supplier broke down the final division of the two categories by centralizing its apparel and hard good offerings on one tech-enhanced website, unifying the company identity under a single banner and providing a one-stop solution to distributors.
The move builds upon a 2022 that saw the Trevose, PA-based company increase company revenue by 20% – growth that the supplier attributes to leveraging technology to drive service upgrades and beefed-up staffing. In the last 18 months the company started using autonomous mobile robots in many of its distribution centers; the bots use algorithms to find the most streamlined routes to retrieve products for their human co-workers, and have increased safety and efficiency.
