For Koozie Group (PPAI 114187, Platinum), which jumped from No. 11 to No. 4, the successful integration of Garyline into the Koozie Group family was a standout milestone in 2025. Bringing this respected U.S. manufacturer into the Tampa, Florida-based company’s platform expanded domestic production and provided scale benefits. The supplier grew its calendar business by purchasing Skinner & Kennedy Co.’s product line and launching it under the Skinner & Kennedy brand.

The company strengthened its leadership team by retaining former Garyline CEO Richard Hellinger as part of the combined executive team. Koozie Group also appointed Patrick Reininger as chief commercial officer to lead sales, marketing and revenue operations following its Garyline merger.

On the operational front, Koozie’s new ERP system at its Spring Hill facility improved visibility, forecasting and execution.
