June 09, 2025 – Senden, Germany - Geiger, the world’s largest family-owned and privately held promotional products distributor, is proud to share that we have acquired SOESTMEDIA, a leading promotional products company located in Soest, Germany.

This transition allows me to gradually embrace the next exciting chapter of my life with peace of mind
