What TPH Global Solutions does

TPH Global Solutions is a privately held professional services firm founded in 1965 and headquartered in Skokie, Illinois, that designs, engineers, and produces custom retail point-of-purchase (POP) displays, retail packaging, and sales kits for consumer brands targeting major US retailers. Core offerings span temporary (1-3 month), semi-permanent, and permanent displays in floor, pallet, countertop/PDQ, on-shelf, and gravity-feed configurations, using corrugated cardboard, paperboard, metal, wood, plastic, and wire. The firm provides end-to-end services from retailer pitch preparation and structural/graphic design through domestic and overseas manufacturing (US and China), assembly/co-packing, logistics, and inventory management. Reported production scale includes 300,000+ custom pre-packed club store displays and 250,000+ pallet displays shipped to warehouse clubs, with a 99% shipping effectiveness rate and consistently documented sell-through outcomes above 90%.

The customer base consists primarily of brand managers and CPG companies whose products are sold through warehouse clubs (Costco, Sam's Club, BJ's), big box retailers (Walmart, Target, Kohl's, Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards), pharmacy chains (Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid), grocery chains (Kroger, Safeway, Whole Foods), and pet retailers (Petco, PetSmart). Named customer logos span footwear/apparel (Reebok, Adidas, Under Armour, Vans, Cole Haan), beverages/spirits (Coca-Cola, Jack Daniel's, Evan Williams, Starbucks), electronics (Dyson), automotive (Kia, Harley-Davidson), pet supplies (Aqueon, Zilla), and packaged goods (Kraft, M&M's, Wells Lamont). The revenue model is project-based and quote-driven professional services billed for display design, production, and supply chain coordination; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales directed at brand managers and CPG executives, supported by a content-marketing funnel that includes retailer-specific success guides, recorded webinars, case studies, and an online Display ROI Calculator. Operating geographies include the US and Canada with a 'global footprint' claim via overseas manufacturing partners. The firm is independently owned with no parent company, no institutional investors, and no disclosed funding rounds or M&A activity. Headcount is reported as 11-50 employees, indicating a relatively lean operating structure that scales via outsourced manufacturing rather than vertical integration.
