Who is Abante
We started our company in Omaha, Nebraska in 1998. We have been growing rapidly ever since. We are now one of the leading screen printers, embroiders and sellers of promotional products and apparel in Nebraska.
Abante Marketing is a full service promotional products company which means we are capable of producing a vast amount of products with your logo including screen printing and embroidery. We have recently moved into our new 10,000 square foot facilty to help us accommodate our rapid growth and the addition of new equipment and people. We also do our own large import products if your needs are on that type of scale. We deal with some of the largest companies in Nebraska as well as numerous schools and booster clubs. We are not just in Nebraska, we also have several national customers. Here is just a very small list of our customer base.

Abante Ownership:
Stan Barth-Owner
Stan has his MBA from Iowa State and has been the owner Abante since the start in 1998. Stan’s background is primarily in marketing and manufacturing. He worked for one of the largest manufacturers in Iowa as Marketing Director and managed all aspects of product design, packaging and marketing of all lines. Stan also ran the import department for years and helped secure contracts and price terms with overseas partners. This experience has led Stan to be the operation backbone of Abante today. Stan earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Nebraska Kearney with a degree in Business Education and Business Administration. Stan and his wife keep busy with their three daughters, lots of dance, soccer and volleyball.
Greg Taylor-Owner
Greg has his BA in Advertising from the University of Nebraska and came on board in 2005 as co-owner. Greg has a background in manufacturing, sales management and software development. Greg also worked for the same manufacturing company as Stan but in the role as Vice President of Sales, allowing him to call on the larger retailers in the United States and overseas. Greg’s background in sales and sales management has given Abante Marketing a great advantage in negotiating pricing with suppliers and our partner relationships. Abante has seen its business hit double digit growth for the last several years due to the internal sales efforts of Greg and the rest of the Abante sales staff. Greg and his wife have two boys.
What makes Abante Different?
Response time for quotes-24 hours or less for all reasonable quotes (larger projects typically take more time as we have numerous overseas sources to obtain multiple pricing quotes). We have learned over the years that larger customers with several departments rarely have ample time for these types of project.
Import projects-Abante has the familiarity and knowledge to help with larger projects where quantities may exceed 20,000 units of any given item. This is a skill most distributors do not have. Typically they will use third party suppliers to access items where we can go direct to the source.
Service/Quality-We pride ourselves on taking great care of our partners and we have dedicated office space, showroom, staff and equipment to make that happen. We deal with a very select group of suppliers whom we have established relationships and trust, not to mention best pricing.
Company Stores-We have the ability and skill to build, host and manage on-line company stores. We have a list of satisfied customers who use that service now.

Partnership program-We offer our larger partners a special incentive to use us exclusively (where applicable).
Pricing-We are as aggressive as anyone you will find. Our preferred vendor program has allowed us to negotiate the best prices with what we feel are the top suppliers in the business.
Creativity-Just ask and you will see what we can come up with. We are very good at finding the right promotion for your audience at the price you need. We currently have access to over 60,000 items so if you need it, we can get it.
