Built on Experience. Designed to Do Things Differently.

Seven Sourcing was founded with a simple idea: bridge the gap between branded merchandise distributors and overseas factories—providing direct access to global manufacturing capabilities without having to manage factories, production and international supply chains themselves.

But the experience behind Seven Sourcing began long before the company did.

Founder Russ Mogell began his career at Toppers, where he was co-owner of one of the industry’s largest branded merchandise suppliers. By 1999, Toppers had surpassed $100 million in annual revenue and ranked #5 in the industry before being acquired by Trivest Partners.

In 2007, Mogell launched Seven Sourcing, bringing together several former Toppers team members to build a new kind of sourcing company backed by decades of industry experience.

That pedigree remains one of Seven Sourcing’s greatest strengths.

The team understands the needs of branded merchandise distributors because they’ve spent decades serving them. From the traditional supplier model at Toppers to today’s direct sourcing model at Seven Sourcing, that experience has given them a deep understanding of the distributor business and what it takes to deliver for their clients.

Today, Seven Sourcing serves as an extension of its clients’ teams, managing product development, sourcing, production, quality control, compliance and logistics for branded merchandise distributors and resellers—helping them deliver custom merchandise for many of the world’s leading consumer brands, retailers, universities and professional sports organizations.

At its core, Seven Sourcing is about turning great ideas into memorable products that create a genuine WOW moment—while managing every detail behind the scenes to ensure those products are produced to spec and delivered on time.
