Goldner Associates (PPAI 105311, Gold) was formed in 1951 when Fred Goldner, Sr., expanded his downtown Nashville, Tennessee, jewelry store to begin carrying corporate merchandise and gifts. Today, the company is owned and operated by the fourth generation of the Goldner family and has expanded to additional offices in Orlando, Florida, and Raleigh, North Carolina, with salespeople located across the U.S.

Much of its growth over the past 73 years is credited to the company’s ability to leverage technology to improve processes and create efficiencies, such as the integration of an advanced ERP system to access inventory online.
