Ball Pro (PPAI 112763, S8) – ranked the No. 37 supplier in this year’s PPAI 100 – has announced the acquisition of Logosport, a Burnsville, Minnesota-based supplier of golf products.
According to the Eden, Minnesota-based company, this move aligns with Ball Pro’s dedication to innovation and expansion.
“I’m excited to welcome the Logosport customers into our network,” says Adam Hanson, president of Ball Pro. “We’ll share with them our golf tournament wisdom, solutions, unique products and a sample box.”
Dominating The Golf Market
For more than 30 years, Ball Pro has offered top-manufacturer golf balls, golf clubs, tournament kits and golf accessories, including brands such as Titleist, Bridgestone, TaylorMade, Callaway, Nike, Wilson and Pinnacle.
- With its 2017 acquisition of Diversified-Adtee, the company expanded its product offerings to include quality kitchenware and additional golf products.
Since 1986, Logosport has been providing personalized golf products, including balls, accessories and equipment, to the promotional products industry. The company carries high-profile brands, such as Titleist, Pinnacle, Callaway, Nike, Wilson, Bridgestone and more.
Potential Golf Ball Shortage
The promo industry may experience a shortage of golf balls after a deadly fire in September ravaged a Taiwanese factory owned by Launch Technologies, which manufactures 20% of the world’s golf ball supply, according to The Associated Press.
With a deep inventory of golf balls in Ball Pro’s warehouse, the immediate impact should be small, depending on what brand or model of two-piece golf balls distributors wish to order, Hanson told PPAI Media.
“The golf ball brands that had production at the Taiwan factory have other factories in the U.S. and overseas that they can shift production of two-piece balls to in order to avoid disruption to their production needs,” Hanson said. “We’ve been assured by our ball company reps that they’ll supply us with as much product as they can to remain good partners for us.”
