For Immediate Release: June 2, 2025
Saint Joseph, Michigan – Competitive Edge recently brought the company's headquarters back to its original stomping grounds, setting up shop in a spacious new warehouse and office facility right here in St.Joseph. After selling their Stevensville office building, the company is planting new (and much larger!) roots in St. Joseph, MI, a move that feels like coming home for Mary Jo Tomasini, CEO and the CE family.
What started as a local success story has blossomed into a service-savvy company with global reach and satellite offices humming with activity in Grand Rapids, Metro Detroit, and even sunny Charleston, South Carolina.
"St. Joseph is where it all began for Competitive Edge," CEO and founder Mary Jo shared with a smile. "This community nurtured our early growth, and it feels incredibly right to bring our HQ back here as we embark on this exciting new chapter."
This journey of growth continued when Paula Wygonik, dynamic Sales Leader and President of Competitive Edge joined the team more than 20 years ago. Her expertise has been crucial in building a strong portfolio of clients and propelling their success across local, national, and international markets. Together Mary Jo and Paula have been dubbed the dynamic-duo, bonded as not only industry leaders, but also sisters.
The new location isn't just a change of address; it's a significant upgrade. With modern office space and an expansive warehouse, Competitive Edge is able to offer even more comprehensive fulfillment and warehousing services to clients of all sizes. Think of it as a supercharged hub for all things branded merchandise!
"We are thrilled to see Competitive Edge re-establish their roots in St. Joseph," says Paul Knapp, Executive Director of St. Joe Today. "Their commitment to our community strengthens the fabric of our local economy and highlights the vibrant business environment we're so proud to offer."
So, let's give a warm "welcome home" to CE Competitive Edge! With their expanded capabilities and continued commitment to their hometown, they're poised for even greater success, proving that sometimes, to move forward, you just need to go back to where you started. And in this case, that starting point is the wonderful community of St. Joseph.
“We are proud to welcome Competitive Edge back home to St. Joseph and celebrate this exciting new chapter in their journey,” said Arthur Havlicek, President & CEO of the Southwest Michigan Regional Chamber. “Mary Jo, Paula, and the entire CE team embody the entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to excellence that drive our region forward. Their investment in this new facility reflects their confidence in our community, and we’re honored to help mark this milestone with them.”
You're Invited!
Please join Mary Jo, Paula, and the entire Competitive Edge team along with the St. Joseph Today and the Southwest Michigan Regional Chamber in celebrating this exciting homecoming and the official grand opening of their new headquarters! A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held on Wednesday, June 11th, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM at 3515 Lakeshore Dr, St. Joseph MI 49085. Speaking engagements will begin at 3:30pm
