Gemline® Adds BOSKA Food Tools® to its Expansive Retail Brand Portfolio
Lawrence, MA – [January 27, 2026] – Gemline®, a leading promotional products supplier, today announced a new partnership with BOSKA Food Tools®, a Dutch heritage brand known for purposeful, long-lasting food tools that turn cooking and shared meals into memorable moments. Launching as part of Gemline’s Spring 2026 collection, this collaboration marks the brand’s debut in the promotional products industry.
Founded in 1896, BOSKA has spent more than a century perfecting tools that bring people together around food. What began as specialized cheese tools has evolved into a modern collection of knives, boards, fondue sets, and kitchen essentials rooted in craftsmanship, functionality, and the joy of shared experiences. Central to the brand is its commitment to longevity: BOSKA products carry a 10-Year or Lifetime Guarantee, and its wood items are made with FSC®-certified materials (FSC-C191180), underscoring the brand’s belief that quality reduces waste.
As a Certified B Corp™, BOSKA meets strict standards of social and environmental impact. This aligns closely with Gemline’s betterway™ Corporate Social Responsibility program, which guides the company’s commitment to balancing purpose and performance as a Public Benefit Corporation and emphasizes responsible sourcing, long-lasting product design, and meaningful impact across people, the planet, and the products it brings to market.
In addition, BOSKA products will be incorporated into Gemline’s popular TransAtlantic Advantage program. Developed in partnership with XD Connects, the program simplifies transatlantic gifting by reducing the complexity of sourcing, logistics, and delivery across North America, the UK, and Europe.
“BOSKA brings a rare combination of craftsmanship, sustainability, and functional design to our retail brand portfolio,” said Frank Carpenito, President and CEO of Gemline. “Their focus on creating durable, responsibly made food tools, backed by long-term guarantees, aligns perfectly with Gemline’s commitment to offering mindfully made, meaningful and long-lasting products to our customers.”
“Our partnership with Gemline reflects our belief that meaningful impact starts with craftsmanship, longevity, and intentional growth. We move forward step by step—no shortcuts—learning every day to refine our niche and raise the bar for durable, purpose-built food tools. By joining forces with Gemline, we can amplify this mindset at scale and challenge a market still dominated by disposable gifting. Together, we aim to offer gifts that last, inspire, and reduce waste across the value chain,” said Maurijn Legein, CEO of Boska.
BOSKA products are sold at leading retailers worldwide, including Williams Sonoma, Crate & Barrel, and Sur La Table, and can now be branded through Gemline—offering organizations an opportunity to give branded gifts with genuine culinary relevance and long-term value.
