Bridgeport, CT – January, 2010– Prime Line® is pleased to announce that it has acquired the Leeman New York product line. Leeman has been a leader in the promotional products industry for nearly 30 years, and offers a wide range of prestigious high quality leather and glass items: including portfolios, luggage tags, jotters, desk items and many more exceptional gifts.

Prime will begin producing Leeman products at its Bridgeport, CT plant starting February 1st. To provide a seamless transition, all Leeman email and telephone contacts will remain in place even after the transition. Distributors should continue placing orders through their normal channels. There will be no disruption of production of orders during the transition.

“This is a great opportunity to add a marquee industry brand to the Prime says Jeff Lederer, Executive Vice President of Prime Line®. The quality of the Leeman line is unmatched and the items are outstanding. The acquisition gives Prime’s distributors even more amazing items to choose from, he added. The 2010 Leeman New York Gift Collection catalog is full of creative and fresh ideas, perfect for any corporate gift program, tradeshow, gift with purchase or even an employee gift.”

“I started the company in 1981 and am so pleased to pass the torch to Prime Line®. Prime and Leeman make a perfect match to expose the Leeman Brand of leather promotional items to a wider distributor audience”, said Zachary Mankes, founder of Leeman.
