What Premium Partners does

Premium Partners is a privately held, Belgium-incorporated (Premium Partners Europe NV) marketing material management solution provider, founded around 1997 and operating across four regions — Europe, the Middle East and Africa, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific — via 19 offices and a Far East buying office that serves 150 markets. The company delivers a full-service offering combining three core product categories (giveaways/retail/gift items, sales promotions and loyalty items, and point-of-sale/in-store activation materials) with four supporting service layers (creative storytelling, branded e-solutions for B2C/B2B/loyalty/P2P platforms, procurement management with open-book cost modeling, and fulfillment/collection development including managed webshops, stocking, and global distribution). Underlying capability rests on internal IT platforms integrating 3rd party logistics and customer setups, a supplier qualification program with QC/QA, and interconnected local and global account management teams that allow multinational brand owners to activate consistent brand strategies at the local level.

The firm serves enterprise brand owners across multiple verticals — food and beverage (PepsiCo, Nestlé, Starbucks, Del Monte, Duvel-Moortgat, Lotus, Barry Callebaut, Bavaria, Liefmans), automotive (Bridgestone, Renault), healthcare (Abbott), retail (Colruyt Group), and non-profit (Kom op tegen Kanker) — generating volume of more than 9,000 orders and over 8 million products delivered per year with an 81 FTE headcount. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, but the revenue model combines professional-services fees (creative, procurement, fulfillment) with one-time-product sourcing and managed-webshop subscriptions. GTM is direct sales-led and consulting-based, beginning with a mix-optimization engagement and moving through concept development, prototyping, and production. The company holds the EcoVadis Platinum Medal for sustainability for five consecutive years, a credential that increasingly serves as a procurement gate for multinational clients.
