NEW MEMBER SPOTLIGHT How did your company get its start? Burromax got its start in 2015 when my brother Bill and I set out to make a difference in the small electric motorcycle market. I was designing small off-road recreational vehicles for a factory when one of its largest customers declined on a new design that had already been tooled. The open tooling meant an opportunity, and we set out to sell the design into the U.S. market. What led your company to enter the promotional products market? Our introduction into the promotional products segment was actually due to us taking a shot on the brand side with PPAI in Las Vegas back in 2017. I had read about the promotional product industry and thought we had a shot going into the incentives and rewards side of the business. We went to the show and had a great reception with everyone loving the unique product and good value. Ken Francis Partner Burromax Crestwood, Missouri PPAI 700242, S1 L.A.
