80 Years of Syndicate Sales

For 80 years, Syndicate Sales has grown through innovation, craftsmanship, and a deep commitment to the industries we serve. What began in 1946 with Del Demaree Sr.’s invention of the Aquapic—a simple water tube that transformed flower care—sparked a legacy that still defines us today. Three generations later, we remain family-owned and headquartered in Kokomo, Indiana, focused on solving real-world design, merchandising, and supply-chain challenges for our customers.


Today, Syndicate Sales supports floral, home and garden, grocery and mass retail, and grower partners with trend-forward products, scalable programs, and dependable service. With more than 1,500 SKUs, 1,000,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehousing, and a reach that spans all 50 states and markets around the world, we continue to pair inspired design with practical execution. From florist studios to garden centers to grocery aisles, we’re helping bring beauty to life—one vessel at a time.
