Goldstar (PPAI 114031, Platinum), PPAI 100’s No. 16 supplier, has announced plans to unveil a new brand identity at the beginning of next year. The Tennessee-based company plans to reveal the rebrand at The PPAI Expo 2025 in Las Vegas and the PSI Show in Europe.

The revamp is expected to kick off a new era of thoughtful design and customer-focused innovation, while simultaneously elevating Goldstar’s mission to provide products that truly resonate with today’s values, the company says.

“This rebrand is much more than a fresh look, it’s the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Goldstar,” says Heather Smartt, Goldstar’s global head. “As we continue to evolve and adapt to the changing needs of our industry and partners, this rebrand reflects our commitment to delivering amazing products, exceptional service, and complete transparency across the business.”

This rebrand is much more than a fresh look, it’s the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Goldstar.”

A Year Of Changes

Goldstar announced changes to two top leadership positions this year.

An 18-year veteran in the promo industry, Smartt stepped into her new position in June after previously serving as the supplier’s global director of merchandising, product development and sustainability. She took the reins from Howard Cubberly, who joined the company over a decade ago and has since left.

The company announced in October that Keith Lofton would step in as vice president of national accounts. A 20-year industry veteran, Lofton had previously spent 12 years with Pro Towels, most recently serving as vice president of sales for PPAI 100’s No. 44 supplier.

Promotional Products Association Southwest (PPAS) is a 501(c)6 non-profit organization.
