Gembah has built a global manufacturing network of over 700 factories and a growing product development network with experts in every product category, from product design to electrical and mechanical engineering.
Henrik Johansson co-founded and built Boundless into a $100M technology-enabled leader in the promotional products space. Zazzle acquired Boundless in 2014, and Henrik continued to lead it as the CEO until the announcement he is joining Gembah effective September 1st of 2020.
"We are going through a period of exceptional growth in a market with virtually unlimited opportunity, so we're very excited to bring on someone like Henrik that has guided a company to significant scale before," said Gembah co-founder and President Zack Leonard.
"Gembah is uniquely situated to power the global product creation market, with e-commerce growth accelerating as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing more retail businesses to online-only models," said Johansson. "Human beings are creators by nature. It's what separates us from all the other species on the planet. Gembah works to bring that power back to creators and innovators anywhere."
Gembah President and Founder Zack Leonard said, "With the new round of funding from our valued venture partners and adding Henrik to our management team, we will continue to enable that creative spirit in a much more democratized and standardized way. By strengthening our network and honing product development, we plan to bring lead time from inception to shipment down even further, fueling the global product innovation engine when we need it most."
