BamBams (PPAI 255565, Gold) started out as a sign and a label manufacturer to the hospitality industry in 2001, but the start-up quickly took off with the introduction of its now-famous inflatable noisemakers at the MLB playoffs and the World Series in 2002. Silicone awareness bracelets followed, and BamBams incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in China where hundreds of products are still manufactured today.

The company began U.S. production in 2015, and in 2023 it acquired a Texas-based promotional products supplier which added hundreds of items to the line. The move strengthened BamBams as a hybrid supplier with a cost advantage sourcing from China and U.S. production for fast turns.

In 2024 personnel news, Rustin Luedtke joined the company as the vice president of strategic development.
