Founded in 1988, Shea Associates has been dedicated to offering the finest manufacturers’ giftware and stationery products in the Gift Industry. Their strong team and reputation in the industry made them a natural choice for the Simblist Group team as they looked to expand, and beginning on June 1, 2022, the Shea team became part of Simblist Group.
“At Simblist Group, we believe in bringing together good people and great products to create a little bit of magic in the world of retail,” says Kim Leister, President of Simblist Group. “We experienced great success with the acquisition of Knack in the Mid-Atlantic in 2020. As we sought to expand our business further, the acquisition of Shea Associates was a natural next step for us.”
Joining the Shea Associates team that is currently covering the Northeastern United States to the existing Simblist Group team provides an exciting opportunity to support both retailers and vendors across the entire East Coast. Expanded access to showroom space, technology, and overall office and marketing support will benefit the former Shea staff as well.
