Boundless Network, a technology-enabled branded merchandise distributor, announced today that it has acquired Texas-based distributor Custom Solutions. According to Boundless Network CEO Jason Black, the acquisition is a win for both firms. “Custom Solutions has strong relationships with some of the country’s top brands. Now, as part of Boundless Network, Custom Solutions will be able to leverage our technology platform to expand market share and offer quantifiable value to clients who are looking to save money in this recessive economy,” said Black.

Black believes Boundless’ unique value to customers is the reason top professionals have chosen to move to Boundless Network. “Our ability to help companies better manage their promotional spending positions our sales professionals to retain and grow their customer relationships despite a difficult economic landscape,” said Black.

Boundless Network’s technology platform and innovative approach to professionalizing the promotional products industry were key influences in Custom Solutions CEO Chris Miner’s decision to move to Boundless Network. Miner believes it was the right move for the growth of his customers and employees.

In 2009, Boundless Network plans to continue recruiting top professionals and acquiring top promotional products distributors with revenues between $2 million and $10 million located in key regions throughout the country. In three years, Boundless Network has grown from two to more than 150 employees; 70 are located in Austin. During the past 12 months, the company has completed six acquisitions as part of a successful nationwide expansion from a single location to 18 regional offices located coast-to-coast across the US.

The Austin Business Journal recently ranked Boundless Network as the No. 2 fastest growing company in Central Texas, in the more than $10 million in revenue category. The company was also recognized as the No. 6 best place to work in the promotional products industry by the Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI) out of more than 16,000 companies in the industry.
