In a world where making a memorable impression matters, we’ve been quietly leading the way at Sycal since 1983. That’s over 40 years of helping businesses, from local startups to global brands, stand out with our branded pens, parasols, tote bags, and so much more. Based on the Woburn Road Industrial Estate in Kempston, we’ve built a solid reputation as one of the UK’s leading suppliers of promotional gifts and merchandise – and we’re proud of that. Our ever-growing customer base stretches across the
UK and beyond, all drawn to our wide range of products and the fantastic service we provide.
If you need branded stationery, drinkware, signage – you name it – we’ve got you covered. Our product portfolio is packed with practical, eye-catching solutions, making sure businesses of all sizes can find exactly what they need to make an impact. Whether it’s personalised umbrellas, bags, or clothing, we work fast and flexibly to deliver products
that are perfectly tailored to each client. But what really sets us apart is our team. We’re a group of merchandise experts and designers who love what we do. We work closely with clients, bringing their branding concepts to life using customisation techniques like direct-to-film (DTF) printing, embroidery, and engraving.
And we’re not just about promotional gifts. We also specialise in graphic displays, point-of-sale materials, and a variety of printed media. If you’re after a fully managed solution, we can offer that too. Our complete stock schemes, combined with bespoke online webstores, make things easy and seamless, allowing you to focus on what matters most: your business.

That’s what keeps our clients coming back. With our business hub located in Bedfordshire, between the M1 and A1, we’ve got the facilities to manufacture everything from promotional umbrellas and parasols to personalised business gifts, bags, and clothing.
When we started out in 1983, our mission was simple: to be a reliable partner by providing quality promotional products at competitive prices, backed by professional service and support. That mission hasn’t changed. We’re proud of the fact that today, we’re one of the fastest-
growing suppliers and distributors of promotional gifts in the UK. And we know that our continued success is down to the trust we’ve built with our clients and the dedication of our team.
Our true strength lies in our unwavering commitment to ensuring every client feels valued. It’s not just about delivering great products; it’s about building lasting relationships. We believe in going the extra mile, tailoring our service to meet each client’s specific needs and offering a personal touch at every stage of the process. Whether you’re a small local business or a global brand, we make sure you receive the same dedicated support and attention to detail. After all, your success is our success.
