Joco (PPAI 827995, Standard-Base) has officially earned CTPAT certification as a partner in U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism program. 

As the supplier continues growing in the branded merchandise industry, this is an important step in strengthening its supply chain, vendor controls and import capabilities, says Corey Marx, co-founder at Joco. 

“CTPAT certification is another important investment in the capabilities behind what we do,” Marx says. “Our partners bring us an idea, brand or product, and our team knows how to turn it into something memorable, with the experience and infrastructure to deliver it confidently.”

Imperial (PPAI 133496, Standard-Plus) has renewed its partnership with Watson Links, the
nonprofit golf mentoring organization founded by eight-time major champion Tom Watson.

As part of the partnership, Imperial provides hats to Watson Links participants. The partnership previously expanded through the “Hats Off to Helping Others” campaign, which provided Imperial hats to mentors and junior golfers at 21 Watson Links locations across the country.

“At Imperial, we believe that golf is about more than performance — it’s about character, community and tradition. Supporting Watson Links allows us to help build a stronger future for the game together,” says Jerry Biag, director of marketing at Imperial.
