EDCO

What EDCO does

EDCO (Edco, Inc.) is a privately held B2B supplier of private label branded souvenirs and accessories, founded in 1954 and headquartered in Mesa, Arizona. The company serves entertainment and destination customers, including theme parks, resorts, and tourist attractions, providing end-to-end product development from concept design through manufacturing, quality control, and global distribution. Its product portfolio spans fashion jewelry, pins, keychains, magnets, stationery, stickers, bags, accessories, mugs, drinkware, apparel, headwear, and other promotional merchandise, all produced under customer brand specifications in coordination with licensor partners.

The company operates a multi-region design network with domestic teams in Los Angeles and Phoenix and overseas design teams in Spain, China, and Thailand. Manufacturing is executed through an overseas factory network that EDCO has built and audited for over 30 years, supported by annual factory audits, pre-production and final inspections, and twice-yearly sourcing-team visits to Asia. Samples are developed physically or via 3D printing depending on material type, with top-of-production samples provided as needed. Distribution is handled globally from Asia or US offices, with Phoenix-based warehouse solutions for staged customer fulfillment.

EDCO generates revenue through one-time private label merchandise sales at quote-based pricing tied to custom project specifications (design complexity, materials, quantities). Its go-to-market is enterprise-focused direct sales targeting major entertainment and destination companies. The company maintains an active corporate website and a dedicated promotional items microsite (edcopromotions.com). No public revenue, headcount growth, or funding data is disclosed, and the company is privately held with no identified parent, subsidiary, or institutional investor.
