Zing Manufacturing has relocated its operations to a newly created state-of-the-art facility in Phoenix.
Zing, which offers laser engraving for promo products such as beverage insulators, key tags, electronics, knives, sporting goods and many others, reached an agreement with S’well in 2021 to become the exclusive provider of the brand’s premium, vacuum-insulated, reusable products. In the last few months, it has also announced the additions of new brands such as Built and Anker.
As the supplier has grown in size and offerings, a bigger facility has become a necessity.
The New Facility
Zing plans to move into their new Phoenix facility March 17-20.
- The supplier is relocating from a facility in Tempe, Arizona.
As part of the facility upgrade, Zing plans to continue its focus in areas such as:
- Warehousing, kitting and fulfillment programs.
The secure warehouse will include a containment area that provides storage for high-end products. The shipping and receiving area includes 15 bays for large, high-volume production orders.
- Zing will be hosting virtual tours in their new facility in late March. (Sign-up information will be sent out by the company).
- Production will be closed Friday, March 17 and will reopen on Tuesday, March 21.
- During the move, rush services will not be available.
- Sales and customer service will be available (sales@zingmfg.com) during the move if any questions arise.
- PromoStandards-integrated customers could see downtime on the night of March 17, while Zing’s servers move to the new location, but this downtime is expected to be minimal.

“We’ll miss our friends and community in Tempe,” says Rob Watson, vice president of Zing. “We’ve enjoyed their support for nearly seven years. But, with growth comes change. And now, we get to build new amaZING partnerships in our expanded facility and become your top source for drinkware, tech products and gift sets.”
Watson also spoke on the size upgrade and potential for the new facility compared to their former operations location.
“The new Zing HQ is three times our current production square footage and with its massively high ceilings, affords us over 25% vertical expansion to warehouse more inventory for high-volume opportunities as well as quick ship and on-demand fulfillment programs for our distributor partners,” says Watson.
