Distributor BAMKO, LLC (PPAI 242148, D11), the promotional product and branded merchandise division of Superior Group of Companies, has been named the No. 1 medium-sized company to work for in Los Angeles by the Los Angeles Business Journal. This year’s ranking marks the second time in the past three years that BAMKO has been recognized as the No. 1 Best Place to Work among medium-sized companies. BAMKO has been named to the Los Angeles Business Journal’s list of Best Places to Work for four consecutive years.

“This is a special moment for us,” says BAMKO President Phil Koosed. “To be recognized as one of the best places to work in this city in the middle of a once-in-a-century pandemic is proof of what can happen when we choose to believe in the possible. When we believe that our ability to do great things is more powerful than the circumstances we find ourselves in, ours becomes a world filled with endless possibilities. Proving that we can create an incredible place to work in these most difficult of circumstances is a testament to the character of our team and the power of their conviction. I have never been more proud to be a part of this team.”
