When considering its development, the PSI (Promotional
Product Service Institute) is both a company and a network.
In 1960, the founder of PSI, Walter Jung, had the idea of
creating a functioning industry for promotional products out
of a mosaic. Being a member in PSI should give everyone
participating a competitive edge. "Only for Members" was and
is the motto. The first tool on the path to a promotional
products industry was a joint fair, the PSI. Suddenly
manufacturers and importers focussed their attention on the
forming branch of the advertising industry. Wholesalers of
promotional products and consultants sprang up everywhere.
In the 70s and 80s, the industry experienced an exemplary
boom. Consolidation and specialization were to follow. For
more than 40 years now, PSI has persistently followed the
idea of a network philosophy. Today, fairs and services from
Paris to Düsseldorf and even to
Warsaw link more than 6,000 promotional product companies
throughout Europe and the world. At the beginning of each
year, PSI Düsseldorf is both the
trendsetter and the barometer of opinion. Being a member of
PSI means standing out. It gives you an edge over your
competitors. Join the successful company network of the
promotional products industry. It's worth it.
