It’s become commonplace to open up our weekly email from ASI and PPAI these days and see some news about industry consolidation, whether it’s a supplier buying another supplier or a distributor joining forces with another distributor.

On Jan 29, it was announced that Halo had acquired Axis Promotions, the well known distributor agency based in midtown Manhattan. While these announcements are no longer surprising, the rate of consolidation is unique to this time in the industry and that’s part of what we want to explore in this conversation.

On our program today, we welcome Larry Cohen, CEO of Axis Promotions and Marc Simon, CEO of Halo. And while Johanna is a co-host, she’s doing double duty today as she’s also an employee at Axis, heading up their Chicago office.

Robert Fiveash and Jay Busselle bagged a unicorn! Michele Bell from ASI is perhaps the highest-profile industry leader who really doesn’t agree to podcast interviews. But we had an offer even MB couldn’t refuse. Jay’s promise of tacos for life, and Robert’s promise of yearly Stones-related gifts, did the trick! Michele was very generous with her time and was her hilarious, insightful, and intelligent self throughout. We talked about what the future likely looks like, the impact of tariffs, industry terminology, the role of suppliers and distributors, and of course, the Rolling Stones. Thanks Michele for sitting down with us, and thanks for being such a positive and influential part of this industry.

In this episode, Jay Busselle and Mark Graham speak with Ryan Moor, CEO at Ryonet & Allmade, about the world of apparel decorating and how his roots as a screen print supplier (Ryonet) led to the creation of a new project, Allmade Apparel - a shirt for screen printers by screen printers. Allmade has also made a name for itself by offering socially and environmentally responsible Tshirt alternatives in a sector not particularly well known for its environmental track record. It's a fascinating grass roots revolution that Ryan and several of his screen printing colleagues have kicked off and we're happy to share the story with you.
