Concord Industries of Norwalk, Conn., founded in 1952 as a manufacturer of promotional and gift items, includes the National Basketball Association, New York Stock Exchange, Girl Scouts of America, Kodak and other Fortune 500 companies among its clients.
'We are very excited about the opportunity to become a SLOC licensee,' said Karen Condron, Concord Industries CEO. 'Concord Industries has been very successful with Olympic-related products. We are thrilled to add the Salt Lake Games to that list.'
Bula, Inc., of Durango, Colo., has become the most recognized brand of ski headwear in the United States, including the famed hat worn by Olympic moguls gold medalist Jonny Moseley.
