📋 Project Overview
Brand / End Use
Ford — custom sports bottles branded with the Ford oval logo and Macaulay Ford dealership imprint for an automotive promotional program.
Procurement Partner / Buyer
Ricoh New Zealand Limited — the B2B buyer that consolidated multiple promotional merchandise lines into a single procurement order.
Supplier
Lion Promotional Gift Co., Limited (XmasGifts.net) — sourced, customized and shipped the branded merchandise program.
Project Type
A corporate promotional merchandise order placed by Ricoh New Zealand Limited, with Ford-branded sports bottles as the featured branded line item.
🔗 Procurement Relationship
Channel integrity. This order was placed by Ricoh New Zealand Limited (PI No. 23LPG059, dated 20 June 2023). The Ford-branded sports bottles were one item within a broader multi-product procurement. We describe the relationship as Ricoh New Zealand → Ford project → 1,000 custom Ford bottles, not as a direct Ford purchase.
