Bullet Line Factory Tour Wrap-Up
 
 
The Open House that was co-hosted by GCPPA at the new Bullet facility in Hialeah, FL was a HUGE success. More than 60 of our distributors were among the first to see the new 450,000 square foot facility.
 
 The event included a full tour of the production floor, where everyone got a behind-the-scenes look at how orders are imprinted and processed along with a sneak peek at a couple of "new" imprinting methods yet be debuted by Bullet. 
 
The Open House event also included lunch, a Polyconcept (Leeds, Bullet, & JournalBooks) vendor showcase, new product presentations across the brand lines, AND everyone met Joe Pierce, who showcased the new Trimark Powered by Leeds apparel line that was recently launched in Florida.

It was a great event and was very well received by everyone who attended!
