November 2022 - Christl Mahfouz - Ace Specialties

Christl Mahfouz, The Woman Behind President Trump’s "Empire of Swag," opened Ace Specialties in 2007 in Lafayette, LA with only one client, one product and one big American Dream. Ace Specialties is a certified Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) business which began as a work-wear business, and has evolved into a supplier of customized, American-made promotional products, apparel, and branding services.

During the economic downturn of 2015 when Louisiana’s oil and gas industry was hit especially hard, Mafouz was on the brink of losing her successful and thriving business when, in June of that year, she boldly pitched her merchandising and e-commerce services to the campaign team of presidential candidate, Donald J. Trump.

Christl’s pitch was a success, not only saving her business, but also charting a new course for Ace Specialties. Ace went on to manage the campaign's unprecedented merchandising operations, and to design one of the most recognizable political brands in American History.

In addition to being the go-to supplier of USA-made promotional products and apparel, Ace Specialties is proud to work with a vast portfolio of political candidates who raise money through merchandise sales. By using Ace Specialties’ merchandise and fundraising platform, candidates promote their brand with custom merchandise while collecting contributions for their campaign.

Ace Specialties continues to develop innovative and successful strategies to ensure victories for each of its partners across the country.
