About Us

Jacent was formed in 2016 through the merger of LaMi Products and ATA Retail Services, two pioneers in impulse merchandising with more than 60 years of combined industry experience. Today, Jacent partners with retailers and consumer brands across North America, delivering merchandising expertise, curated product assortments, and nationwide retail execution.

In 2021, Jacent welcomed a new executive leadership team that brought together experienced company leaders and new industry perspectives. Their expertise across retail, merchandising, supply chain, and product development continues to guide Jacent’s commitment to helping retailers simplify operations and drive sales.
