Los Angeles-based distributor, BAMKO, entered into strategic partnership with Dallas based distributor, Lapgevity in November 2019.

From then, BAMKO, continued its expansion into the state by relocating Joshua White, senior vice president of strategic partnerships, to Austin, Texas, in January.

Joshua explained about its relocation, “I moved out here to plant the BAMKO Texas flag in the ground and establish a forward operating base. The current sales force sells both nationally and internationally, so the distributor already has clients in the state. In expanding its presence, he says BAMKO will hire more sales reps who can keep up with the pace and scale at which the company operates. “Our approach is very much about quality over quantity.”

He further added, “Most traditional industry reps are not the right fit for how we sell. But when we find folks who are hungry to get out there and slay dragons, we are going to hire them, devote substantial resources to them and set them loose to go out and win the biggest accounts, brands, programs and opportunities in this great state of Texas.”
