PLI, the
largest manufacturer of hotel keycards and leading specialty printer in the
commercial card space has entered into an exclusive commercial sales and
marketing partnership with Sustainable Cards out of Sweden, the world’s leading
manufacturer of wooden gift cards, hotel key cards, loyalty cards and retail
point-of-sale signage.
PLI has grown to become the world’s largest supplier of
hotel key cards with several exclusive global supply agreements in place with
some of the most recognizable hotel brands in the world.
“Our growth and customer relationships have come from our
ability to listen to our customers and offer a high-quality product at
competitive prices,” said Peter Krauss, CEO of PLI. “As more and more of our
Hospitality and Gift Card customers challenge us for more sustainable solutions
and ask us for innovation and alternatives to PVC, adding wood cards to our
product portfolio was the next natural step for us to take,” continued Krauss.
Sustainable Cards has spent over five years and several
million dollars developing and patenting its unique wood substrate and
manufacturing process. The company has also worked very closely with
independent environmental research firms and NGOs to ensure full transparency
and verification of its sustainable footprint.
“As an ever growing number of hotels and retailers continue
to build awareness for their sustainability practices and eco-initiatives a
relationship with PLI is the best way for Sustainable Cards to continue its
North American growth strategy,” said Peo Akesson, CEO & Founder of
Sustainable Cards. “With PLI now fully behind the product we will immediately
reach a much broader audience for our product,” continued Akesson.
“We have followed the wood card since its inception in 2008
in the U.S. market and we have seen the quality improve and interest grow year
over year,” continued Krauss. “Recent research and discussions with key
customers convinced us that the time was right for PLI to add this product to
its portfolio,” added Krauss.
PLI will be responsible for all manufacturing, sales and
marketing of the product in North America with Sustainable Cards working
closely adding its know-how and experience to the PLI management team and its
sales force.
