A new US-based, turnkey balloon source, consulting firm and global exchange has launched with a new website to serve both B2B and consumer markets.
Founded by a group of industry veterans, the goal of the business is to fill a need for a stable, full-service, US-based balloon supplier to ‘restore stability and confidence with buyers, distributors, decorators, planners and consumers’.
Cathy Sampson, president of Balloon Exchange (pictured), commented: “We’ve got a deep bench of industry veterans behind this company. Our team’s experience and knowledge are unparalleled. We can’t wait for customers to experience the difference.”
The founding team has researched all sectors of the industry and developed a strategic plan to take on the many supply issues shared by distributors, decorators, wholesalers, retailers, marketers, entertainment industry buyers and consumers. The company plans to be a new kind of turnkey, global balloon supply solution – a balloon exchange – for any balloon problem or challenge.
Balloon Exchange has a state-of-the-art modern balloon printing and manufacturing facility in which it meets stock or custom production needs with high quality printing, production and service. However, as an exchange, the company also sources from its vetted list of suppliers and is identifying and qualifying new vendors regularly.
“Our brand reflects our mission,” said Cathy. “We’re not just selling balloons; we’re providing solutions. We’re more than a traditional manufacturer, broker, distributor, factory rep, consultant or holding company.
“Whether it’s engineering custom designs, ensuring supply chain reliability for standard sizes and colours or working with customers to develop cutting-edge sustainable materials and balloon designs, we’re here to make the impossible possible.
“Balloon Exchange is a dream team in a position to deliver anything and everything balloon-related. We’re only limited by our customers’ imaginations.”
Balloon Exchange also offers professional consulting services, including sourcing, specification development, engineering, quality control, design, printing, testing and more. The team has a supply chain network, built on years of relationships.
“We will reshape the industry,” Cathy emphasised. “This launch is the beginning of a new era of reliability and ingenuity in the balloon industry. We’re proud to finally bring Balloon Exchange to life and help our customers, as our tag line says, ‘Inflate Happiness’.”
