Supplier LPTENT began in France and was founded by the Robba family. They descended from a long line of circus families, and when the circus business slowed down, they seized the opportunity to rent out their big top to events. From there, they moved on to renting more pop-up tents to manufacturing their own and custom printing them. Headquartered in France, the company moved into the U.S. and Canadian markets four years ago with the establishment of its Edmonton office, Alberta, office and Ferndale, Washington, warehouse. What led your company to enter the promotional products market? As our business expanded into the manufacturing of custom products, moving into promotional products was a natural part of that transition. We are a business-to-business manufacturer, and we have solutions that can help the promotional products industry and its professionals. In return, the promotional world is a network that can help us expand our reach. What’s your favorite thing about being in the promotional products industry? We enjoy working with our customers, and helping them and their clients find solutions to stand out and promote their brands. We differentiate ourselves and stay ahead of the competition by offering innovative products without forgetting quality and customer service. It’s gratifying to see people have a successful event and attract attention thanks to our products. Why did you join PPAI? Our research has shown us that PPAI is the right association to join to grow our business and network in the industry. — James Khattak LPTENT CEO Pierre Benetreau (left) with Scott Watson, digital marketing and graphic designer (center), and James Turkington, sales manager, at one of the supplier’s staff cook-outs.
