Former BamBams CMO and Former Nashville Bar Owner Bring Sustainable and Unbreakable Drinkware to the Industry
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nashville, TN – January 2025 – Symglass, the venture-backed manufacturer of sustainable, unbreakable drinkware, is making a bold entrance into the promotional products market. With its patented manufacturing process and a commitment to sustainability, Symglass is poised to disrupt the branded merchandise space by offering premium drinkware solutions that are both durable and eco-friendly.
Backed by Gelband & Company’s special purpose vehicle, SygGlass secured venture capital funding in the fall of 2024 to accelerate growth and expand into new markets. This strategic investment has fueled the company’s expansion into the promotional products industry, where demand for high-quality, sustainable, and American-made products is at an all-time high.
Symglass is led by CEO Quinn O'Sullivan and COO Ben Taylor, both seasoned leaders in the consumer goods and branded merchandise industries. O'Sullivan, a serial entrepreneur in the hospitality and beverage sectors, has built and exited multiple businesses. Taylor, formerly the Chief Marketing Officer at BamBams, and Head of US Product Sales and Go-To-Market at Amazon brings deep expertise in promotional products, corporate merchandise, and go-to-market strategy, making Symglass a formidable new player in the space.
Revolutionizing Branded Drinkware with Sustainability & Durability
Unlike traditional glass or plastic alternatives, Symglass products are crafted using a glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PETG) derived from plants. This biodegradable, fully recyclable material is BPA- and BPS-free, offering a sustainable yet premium alternative to single-use plastics. Thanks to a proprietary injection molding process, Symglass drinkware provides the luxurious look and feel of glass while being virtually indestructible—a game-changing for corporate merchandise and promotional programs.
“Promotional products buyers and corporate brands are demanding higher quality, sustainable solutions that align with their values,” said Ben Taylor, COO of Symglass. “We’re bringing a premium, American-made drinkware option to the industry—one that’s not only unbreakable but also better for the planet. Our entry into the promotional space represents a massive opportunity for companies looking to elevate their brand with high-end, long-lasting drinkware.”
Made in the USA, Designed for Impact
Symglass is committed to manufacturing in America, ensuring high-quality craftsmanship, ethical production practices, and reduced carbon footprint. As companies and consumers continue to prioritize sustainability, Symglass provides an innovative alternative to imported, disposable, and breakable glassware commonly found in the industry.
“Our mission is simple—to redefine drinkware with premium, sustainable solutions that last a lifetime,” said Quinn O’Sullivan, CEO of Symglass. “Expanding into the promotional products market allows us to partner with brands that share our vision of sustainability without sacrificing style or durability.”
Expanding Distribution & Customization Capabilities
Symglass will be offering custom-branded solutions for distributors, corporate clients, and promotional product buyers, ensuring brands can showcase their logos on high-end, eco-friendly drinkware.
