About Us

At Gilman Surge, we don’t just make merchandise—we create custom brand experiences.

For over a decade, we’ve been a trusted partner to some of the most recognized names in the endurance sports and beverage/alcohol industries. From national race series and beverage brands to leading fitness organizations and academic institutions, our clients count on us to deliver high-impact, fully customized promotional goods at scale.

What sets us apart is our ability to take ideas from concept to reality—designing from scratch, offering an unmatched range of material and style options, and manufacturing with precision, speed, and scale.

What We Do Best

• Race Medals & Ribbons
  We specialize in memorable, high-quality race bling—from glitter-filled or interactive medals to custom-printed gradient ribbons. Our medals tell a story and give participants a lasting reward worth showing off.
• Custom Bags
  Our drawstring and cinch bags come in nearly any configuration you can imagine: mesh or solid fabric, zipper placement, custom colorways, and creative add-ons like built-in bottle sleeves or event schedules.
• Branded Apparel & Printing
  We print millions of shirts every year—handling everything from premium retail-quality runs to high-volume race tees. Whether it's screen printing, sublimation, embroidery, or custom finishing touches like neck tags or polybagging, we deliver retail-ready results at scale.
• Promo & Merch Programs
  We develop and execute full-scale promotional and merchandise programs for national chains, race series, and brand activations—designing standout gear that people want to wear and share.
• Warehousing & Fulfillment
  From e-commerce drop-shipping to corporate kit distribution and blind fulfillment, we handle logistics so you don’t have to. We can ship a handful of items to VIPs—or tens of thousands to employees and customers across the country.Limitless Design, Trusted Execution
