HISTORY

It’s no accident that Sunflower Marketing has been around for over 30 years. From our humble beginnings in the back of a sporting goods store, to our current 425 dedicated associates and Top 50 Promotional Products Distributor rating, we’ve seen a lot of changes.




In 1979 Sunflower Graphics was born. After a successful seven years, M-C Industries, Inc. purchased Sunflower Graphics and a slight name change was made – from then on we have been known as Sunflower Marketing.


Over the next five years we grew so much that in 1991, a new 65,000 sq. ft. distribution center was built in Geneva, NE to accommodate the growth and planned future growth. This state of the art production, fulfillment and distribution center is where all the action happens! The Sunflower Marketing product line is housed here along with our identification capabilities, packaging operation, and warehouse. The best way to describe all that goes on at the distribution center and its technology is WOW!


Sunflower Marketing’s corporate offices are located in “The Capital City”, Topeka, Kansas. Our passionate and dedicated team of experts market our products and services to corporate America, elementary, high school and college/university markets. We are proud of our mid-western work ethic, and we are committed to the communities in which we operate.
