iFLY Luggage Named "Supplier of the Year" for Walmart's Home Management Department

LA MIRADA, Calif., Feb. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Calego International Inc., designer and manufacturer of iFLY Luggage, today announced that retailer Walmart Inc. has recognized Calego as its "2017 Supplier of the Year" in the Home Organization category at Walmart's two-day Supplier Growth Forum (SGF) in Bentonville, Arkansas. The honor comes amidst record sales of iFLY products nationwide, including iFLY's best-selling Rose Gold Fibertech and X Series collections.

"iFLY delivers best-in-class luggage that never costs more than your airfare and it is a true honor to be recognized by Walmart as its Supplier of the Year," said David Rapps, Director of Corporate Development at Calego International Inc. "Together iFLY and Walmart have made travel more affordable and enjoyable for millions of Americans and we're so proud of our team and Walmart's continued partnership."

iFLY will launch the forthcoming Space Grey Fibertech hard-sided luggage collection on Walmart.com and Jet.com this spring, exactly one year after the best-selling Rose Gold Fibertech launch. Space Grey Fibertech luggage will boast the same stunning design, durable exterior, four electroplated 360-degree double spinner wheels, and interior zip pockets that travelers have come to love about this iFLY collection. The collection, which includes a ten-year warranty, will be available in carry-on and checked sizes, starting at only $59.00.

"iFLY is a great example of a supplier partner working with us, driving innovation and bringing the best product to our customers," said Steve Bratspies, Chief Merchandising Officer at Walmart, announcing the award during the Forum. "iFLY is our number one growth supplier in luggage and we cannot wait to see what we can do together as partners in the future."

The relationship between iFLY and Walmart started in 2013 and included just three SKUs. iFLY now sells more than 50 SKUs across Walmart stores thanks to its commitment to excellence and unique value proposition: that great luggage shouldn't cost more than your airfare.
