It was North Drinkware\u2019s debut at the show, and thanks to the incredible support from the Fine Lines team, we had a fantastic Market. We stayed busy throughout the event, enjoyed meeting so many retailers face-to-face, and built valuable new relationships. We\u2019re especially grateful to the teams at Andmore and Fine Lines for creating such a welcoming and productive environment that made our first Market such a success,\u201d said Matt Capozzi, co-founder, North Drinkware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe were very pleased with our experience at this summer\u2019s Las Vegas Market. Sales met our expectations, and it was a great opportunity to connect with existing retailers, build new buyer relationships, and have encouraging conversations about future growth.
