Company Overview and Heritage

Established in 1973, PF Concept stands as a pillar of excellence in the promotional merchandise industry, celebrating over 50 years of innovation and reliability. As a core part of the Polyconcept Group, PF Concept is now recognised as Europe’s largest supplier of promotional products, serving distributors and brands across the UK and the continent. With its headquarters in Roelofarendsveen, the Netherlands, and a network of nine sales offices throughout Europe, PF Concept ensures local expertise and responsive service. Their expansive warehouse and certified printing facility in Poznań, Poland, combined with in-house manufacturing capabilities in the UK, underpin their ability to deliver high-quality, innovative solutions at scale. This legacy of trust, experience, and reach makes PF Concept the go-to partner for brands seeking to make a lasting impression.

Expertise in Product Media and Customisation

PF Concept’s product media expertise is reflected in a curated collection of thousands of items, spanning drinkware, technology, clothing, bags, stationery, and more. Their portfolio features both own-brand and premium labels, offering depth of choice at every price point to suit diverse campaign needs. Through their “Create Your Own” and bespoke programmes, clients can access extended customisation options – ranging from unique colourways and finishes to fully tailored product designs – ensuring each item aligns perfectly with brand guidelines and campaign objectives. PF Concept’s product selection is done “with care”, prioritising durability, trend relevance and, above all, brand-led design that keeps the client’s identity at the forefront, not the supplier’s.

Digital Tools and Sales Support

Empowering distributors to sell with confidence, PF Concept leverages advanced digital tools, a deep inventory, and rapid branding processes. Their outstanding web shop and digital catalogues streamline the selection and ordering process, while real-time inventory data supports efficient project management – whether for a single event or a complex, multi-site rollout. PF Concept’s dedicated sales experts provide inspiration, product knowledge, and hands-on support, helping clients win business and reduce admin time. These capabilities minimise artwork rework and free up resources, enabling clients to focus on what matters: delivering promotional products that make brands and people proud.

Commitment to Sustainability and Ethical Practices

PF Concept is deeply committed to sustainability and ethical responsibility throughout its operations and supply chain. Their annual Sustainability Report details progress towards ambitious goals, including the elimination of all virgin fossil-based plastic products and packaging by 2030. The “Rethinking Plastics 2030” strategy drives innovation in materials, promotes circularity, and prioritises the elimination of unnecessary plastics. PF Concept champions circular design – using recycled, bio-based, and GRS-certified materials, enhancing recyclability, and leveraging traceability technologies like Aware™. External recognition, such as an EcoVadis Platinum rating and a multi-year partnership with UNICEF Netherlands’ “Plastic Bricks” programme, further validate their leadership in social and environmental performance.

Ethical practices are embedded in PF Concept’s DNA. The company maintains robust anti-slavery policies, adheres strictly to the Modern Slavery Act 2015, and conducts regular supply chain audits. A dedicated compliance team ensures ongoing due diligence, and staff receive comprehensive training on ethical sourcing. PF Concept UK also publishes gender pay gap data via the UK Government’s reporting service, demonstrating transparency and a commitment to pay equity.

Stakeholder Engagement and Waste Reduction

PF Concept recognises that effective waste reduction requires active stakeholder engagement. The company works closely with clients to create awareness around returns, misprints, and over-ordering – critical issues in an industry where branded products cannot always be repurposed. By providing clear guidance and encouraging collaborative planning, PF Concept helps clients improve forecasting, extend product use, and reduce the volume of merchandise that becomes obsolete, minimising unnecessary CO₂ emissions and supporting responsible logistics.

Circular Economy and Reuse Partnerships

PF Concept’s commitment to the circular economy is evident in both product design and end-of-life solutions. Products are engineered for longevity, repair, and recyclability, with a preference for sustainable materials and constructions. Through partnerships with organisations like Reshare and local groups in Poland, PF Concept ensures that surplus textiles and products unsuitable for branding are donated or repurposed, rather than sent to landfill. These initiatives provide clients with credible, environmentally responsible options for the end-of-life treatment of campaign stock and uniforms, reinforcing PF Concept’s leadership in sustainable merchandise.

Inspiring Change and Building Trust

PF Concept’s holistic approach – combining product quality, innovative customisation, digital selling tools, and rigorous sustainability and ethical standards – builds enduring trust with clients and their stakeholders. This commitment translates into tangible benefits: enhanced brand reputation, stronger corporate social responsibility narratives, smoother internal approvals, and potential cost efficiencies through reduced waste and longer-lasting products. By focusing on subtle, quality branding and selecting products that recipients want to keep and use, such as the Printed brite-mat square coaster UK (made from 100% recycled plastic and laminated paper), PF Concept maximises impact per item and supports both environmental and commercial goals.
