Zing Partners With Anker To Offer Retail Favorites In Tech Accessories

Zing Manufacturing (PPAI 517185, S7) an Arizona-based supplier of drinkware, tech products and gift sets to the promotional industry, announced the addition of Anker to its family of retail brands. This will introduce consumer favorites in the wireless charger, power bank, headphone, earbuds and Bluetooth speaker categories to the company’s offerings. Zing debuted its line of Anker products at The PPAI Expo.

“On the heels of Anker’s popularity at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Zing is thrilled to offer the industry access to one of the fastest growing, most iconic retail names in tech accessories, branded and personalized to make a lasting impression,” says Rob Watson, vice president of Zing.

  • In late 2022, Zing announced its exclusive partnership with Built drinkware and bag products.
  • The full product collection, including available inventory, will be available in mid-January via the industry’s popular search engines, followed shortly with the soon-to-be launched ZINGmfg.com and PromoStandards integration.
